The 1948 Jefferson Nickel is a notable collectible coin in the United States. Produced as part of the series featuring Thomas Jefferson, these nickels were minted in both Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D mint mark). The 1948 issue is particularly desired by collectors due to its historical significance, as it is the first year of minting after World War II. Coins in higher grades, especially those graded MS-65 or better, can command premium prices in the numismatic market. Collectors often seek coins with full steps on the reverse, indicating strong striking detail.
