Collectible coins, such as the 1945 nickels, are highly sought after by numismatists and collectors. The 5-cent coin, commonly known as the nickel, features the image of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. In 1945, production was influenced by World War II, leading to unique characteristics in minting that can affect scarcity and value. Nickels from this year may also have variations, such as those minted with different compositions or mint marks, which are essential factors in the collectible market.
