The 1947 nickel, also known as the Jefferson nickel, is a five-cent coin that features a profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, Jefferson's home, on the reverse. It is part of a series minted from 1938 to present, with the 1947 issue being notable for its relatively high mintage and common availability. The coin is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel and is an essential part of many American coin collections. Collectors often seek rolls of these coins, also referred to as 5c rolls, due to their historical significance and connection to American currency.
