Collectible coins, specifically the 5-cent nickel from the United States, are a popular focus for numismatists. The 1959 Jefferson nickel, part of the long-running series introduced in 1938, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Coins from this year are available in both circulation and uncirculated grades, with specific interest in examples that exhibit mint errors or high-grade specimens. The 1959 nickel is also significant as it marks the end of the coin's design before changes were made in subsequent years. Collectors often seek out rolls of these coins for their potential value and historical significance.
