Collectible coins include a variety of types, often categorized by their historical significance, rarity, or unique characteristics. The United States five cents nickel, also known as the Jefferson Nickel, was first minted in 1938 and features a profile of President Thomas Jefferson. The Half Dime, an earlier coin denomination, was issued from the late 18th century until 1873 and depicts various designs, including the Liberty seated motif. The 1983 Philadelphia-struck Jefferson Nickel is of particular interest to collectors due to its mintage year and potential variations, such as the 1983-D over D error coins.
