coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1980
Collectible coins come in various types and categories, each appealing to different collectors based on historical significance, rarity, and design. The five cents nickel, commonly known as the Jefferson Nickel, was introduced in 1938 and features a depiction of President Thomas Jefferson. Notably, the 1980 Jefferson Nickel saw a continued appreciation in numismatic value due to its relatively high mintage and condition rarity, particularly in uncirculated grades. The half dime, a precursor to the nickel, was struck in various designs from 1792 to 1873, often collected for its historical context and design variations. Both types represent significant aspects of U.S. coinage history.
