Collectible coins are specifically sought after by numismatists due to their historical significance, rarity, or unique features. In the United States, the Five Cents Nickel, also known as the Jefferson Nickel, was first minted in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The Half Dime, produced primarily from 1792 to 1873, was an earlier coin denomination worth five cents. The 1974 Jefferson Nickel may be of interest due to its production year, but it is not particularly rare, making its collectible value generally lower compared to older or mint-error specimens.
