The 1966 Philadelphia 5-cent nickel is a collectible coin that belongs to the Jefferson Nickel series, which was first minted in 1938. The coin features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his Virginia home, on the reverse. The 1966 nickel is made of a copper-nickel alloy and is widely collected among numismatists. While it is not considered rare, higher-grade examples may be sought after, particularly by those interested in completing sets or specific date varieties from the series. Minted in Philadelphia, these coins did not receive a mintmark, making them identifiable by their design and year.
