The 1979 San Francisco 5-cent nickel, commonly referred to as the "1979-S Nickel," is part of a collectible series produced at the San Francisco Mint. While standard nickels were minted in Philadelphia and Denver, the San Francisco versions are often sought after due to their limited mintage and potential for higher numismatic value. Collectors may look for specific varieties, such as those with proof finishes, which exhibit a mirrored surface and are issued specifically for collectors. The 5c roll of these coins can be an attractive option for investors and numismatists interested in assembling a complete set or focusing on San Francisco mint issues.
