The 1940 Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin minted in the United States, notable for its depiction of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia estate, on the reverse. Struck in nickel during a period when the U.S. minting process faced adjustments due to World War II metal shortages, the 1940 Jefferson Nickel is highly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades. Its numismatic value can vary based on condition, mint mark, and demand, with uncirculated examples commanding premium prices.
