Jefferson Nickels are five-cent coins produced by the United States Mint, featuring a depiction of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The series was first minted in 1938 and continues to be popular among collectors. The 1946 Jefferson Nickel, specifically minted in Philadelphia without a mint mark, is notable as it was the first year of production after World War II. Collectors often seek this coin due to its historical significance and its role in the transition of coin production at that time.
