The Jefferson Nickel, a five-cent coin struck by the United States Mint, was first issued in 1938. It features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The Philadelphia Mint produced these coins without a mintmark, making them distinctive for collectors. Jefferson Nickels are notable for their relatively low mintage in certain years, which can enhance their value among collectors, especially if they are in higher grades or featured unique variants.
