Jefferson Nickels are a five-cent coin (5c) produced by the United States Mint. They were first introduced in 1938 and feature a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The 1945 dated coins, particularly those minted in Philadelphia, are of interest to collectors due to their historical context following World War II. Coins from this era can vary in condition and rarity, affecting their collectible value. The 1945 Jefferson Nickel is composed of a copper-nickel alloy, with specific minting characteristics that appeal to numismatists.
