coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 5¢ (Five Cents, Nickel, Half Dime) \ Jefferson Nickels \ 1987
Collectible coins, specifically in the United States, encompass a wide variety of types, including the five-cent nickel, often referred to as the Jefferson Nickel. The Jefferson Nickel was first issued in 1938 and features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The term "Half Dime" historically refers to a silver coin valued at five cents, minted until 1873. The 1987 Jefferson Nickel is particularly notable among collectors for its relatively low mintage and specific design variations, making it a sought-after piece in modern U.S. coin collecting.
