Collectible coins are often categorized based on their historical significance, rarity, and condition. The 1935 Philadelphia nickel, known as the "5c Roll," is part of the Jefferson nickel series, which was first minted in 1938 but includes important varieties from earlier years, including the buffalo and liberty heads. Collectors look for specific features such as mint marks, which can significantly affect value, as well as the coin's grade, which indicates its preservation and aesthetic appeal. The Philadelphia mint typically did not mark its coins with a mint mark, making these pieces distinct for their lack of additional identifiers.
