Collectible coins encompass various types that are sought after by numismatists, including older currency, limited editions, and coins with unique features. The Jefferson Nickel, introduced in 1938, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson and is made predominantly of copper and nickel. The 1986 Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickel, while common, can be valuable in uncirculated or graded conditions, particularly in a complete coin set. The term "Half Dime" historically referred to a silver coin struck by the United States, minted prior to the introduction of the nickel denomination. Collectors often focus on mint marks, production years, and overall condition to assess value.
