Collectible coins, such as the Jefferson Nickel, are a popular focus among numismatists. The five-cent nickel, minted starting in 1938, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1996 Denver Mint Jefferson Nickel is part of the standard series, which can have variations in condition and grade, impacting its collectibility and value. Other collectible forms of five-cent coins include the Half Dime, which was produced prior to the introduction of the nickel.
