The 1945 San Francisco Jefferson Nickel (5c) is a notable collectible coin produced by the United States Mint. This coin features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia home, on the reverse. The 1945 nickel is particularly significant as it was minted during the years following World War II, and it is part of the Jefferson Nickel series that began in 1938. San Francisco minted coins are typically rarer and more sought after by collectors due to their lower production numbers compared to other mints.
