Collectible coins can range from historical pieces to modern issues, each with varying desirability based on factors like rarity, condition, and historical significance. In the context of United States coins, the five-cent nickel, commonly referenced as the Jefferson Nickel, was first minted in 1938 and features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson. The term "Half Dime" historically refers to a coin that was minted prior to the introduction of the nickel, typically made of silver. The 2012 Jefferson Nickel is part of the ongoing series, and while modern nickels may not possess significant numismatic value, specific years and mint marks can enhance their collectible worth.
