Collectible coins from the United States, particularly the 5-cent denomination known as nickels, have significant interest among numismatists. The 1946-S nickel, minted in San Francisco, is part of the Jefferson nickel series introduced in 1938. This specific year and mint mark often attract collectors due to variations in mintage and potential for higher grades, impacting its value. Collectors seek such coins for their historical significance and aesthetic appeal, often found in rolls or individual pieces.
