The 1948 San Francisco nickel, part of the Jefferson nickel series, is a five-cent coin issued by the United States Mint. It features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Coins from the San Francisco Mint are known for their high quality due to the mint's use of better striking techniques and higher quality control. A roll (typically containing 40 coins) of 1948 nickels can be a sought-after item among collectors, especially if in uncirculated condition. Collectors often value the Kansas nickels for their historical significance, lower mintage, and appeal in various grades.
