1961 nickels are part of the Jefferson nickel series, which was first introduced in 1938. These coins feature a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The 1961 mintages include both Philadelphia and Denver varieties, with the Philadelphia coins lacking a mint mark and the Denver coins marked with a "D." In collectible coin circles, 1961 nickels can be sought after for their historical significance, condition, and mint variations. Rolls of these coins typically contain 40 nickels.
