Collectible coins in the United States, such as the five-cent nickel and half dime, represent significant pieces of American numismatic history. Jefferson Nickels, which were first minted in 1938, include various key dates and special issues, notably coins struck at the San Francisco mint. The 1978 Jefferson Nickel, while not as rare as some earlier issues, can still hold collector interest, particularly in high grades or unique varieties. In general, collectible coins can vary dramatically in value based on factors like rarity, demand, condition, and historical context.
