Collectible coins encompass various types, including those minted for circulation, commemorative issues, and limited editions. The 1973 San Francisco Mint nickel, commonly referenced as a 5-cent coin, is part of the Jefferson nickel series. Its production was characterized by lower mintage figures compared to other years, which can increase its attractiveness to collectors. These coins are often sought after in high grades, with specific interest in uncirculated rolls that preserve their condition. The San Francisco mint mark (S) denotes its origin, adding to its collectible value.
