Collectible coins, such as those from the United States, encompass a variety of denominations and designs that reflect historical significance and artistic value. The five-cent nickel, or Jefferson nickel, was first introduced in 1938, featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The term "half dime" refers to a coin issued prior to the introduction of the nickel, valued at five cents, which was minted in various designs until 1873. The 1985 Jefferson nickel, part of a long-running series, can be found in various conditions and grades, impacting its collectible value.
