The 1983 Philadelphia 5-cent nickel, commonly referred to as the Jefferson nickel, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, Jefferson's home, on the reverse. This coin, like others in the Jefferson series, is made of a copper-nickel alloy, specifically 75% copper and 25% nickel. Minted at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins can be found in circulation as well as in collectible rolls, appealing to numismatists and collectors focusing on modern U.S. coinage. The 1983 nickels generally hold little premium above face value unless they are in uncirculated condition or part of a complete set.
