The United States five-cent nickel, commonly known as the Jefferson Nickel, has been in circulation since 1938. The 2012 Jefferson Nickel was struck at the San Francisco Mint and is notable for its collectible San Francisco minted versions, particularly the proof coins. Additionally, the half dime, though no longer in circulation, was a popular denomination prior to the widespread adoption of the nickel. Collectors often seek out specific years and mint marks to enhance their collections, making coins from the San Francisco Mint particularly desirable among numismatists.
