Jefferson Nickels, produced since 1938, feature a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1939 issue is significant due to its design and is part of a series that commemorates Jefferson's contributions. Collectors often seek higher-grade examples and variations, such as the 1939-D and 1939-S mint marks, which are rarer and more valuable compared to the regular 1939 version. The 5-cent denomination has made the Jefferson Nickel accessible to a broad range of collectors.
