Collectible coins, particularly those from the United States, include a variety of types such as commemorative, proof, and circulation coins. The 5-cent nickel, commonly known as the "nickel," has been produced since the 19th century and features various designs, including the iconic Jefferson nickel. The 1987 nickel is notable as it was part of the regular circulation series, with millions minted and featuring the portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Rolls of nickels from this year can be sought after by collectors for their potential to contain coins in uncirculated condition or with specific mint marks that may enhance their numismatic value.
