The Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin that features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and an image of Monticello on the reverse. Minted since 1938, it has undergone various design changes, with the original release featuring the Monticello design by Felix Schlag. The 1938 Denver Mint issue is significant as it marks the inaugural year of the Jefferson Nickel series, with a "D" mint mark indicating its production in Denver. Collectors often seek out these coins for their historical value and variations in mintage.
