Collectible coins are typically categorized into various types based on their denomination, historical significance, design, and rarity. The United States five-cent coins, known as nickels, include notable issues such as the Jefferson Nickel, which was first minted in 1938 and features Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The Half Dime, which was used prior to the introduction of the nickel, is a silver coin that was last minted in 1873. Notably, the 1979 Jefferson Nickels can be collectible if they exhibit specific minting errors or are in uncirculated condition, contributing to their value among numismatists.
