Collectible coins encompass a variety of numismatic items, including currency types from different eras and regions. In the United States, the five-cent nickel, particularly the Jefferson Nickel, was first minted in 1938 and features Thomas Jefferson on the obverse. The half dime, a silver coin that was minted from 1792 until 1873, is often sought after by collectors. The 1978 Philadelphia Mint production of Jefferson Nickels includes coins struck at that facility and may vary in condition and mint mark, affecting their collectible value. Collectors often focus on these minting details when assessing the worth and rarity of such coins.
