Collectible coins refer to coins that are valued not just for their face value but also for their rarity, demand, and historical significance. The United States has a rich variety of collectible coins, including the five cents nickel, known as the Jefferson Nickel, which was first minted in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. Collectors particularly seek out coins minted in specific years or locations, such as the 1986 Jefferson Nickel from the San Francisco Mint, which may include proofs and special editions that enhance their appeal and value. Collectible coins can range from lower denominations like the Half Dime to more historically significant pieces, attracting enthusiasts and investors alike.
