The 1952 Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin produced by the United States Mint, featuring a profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. It is part of the Jefferson Nickel series, which was first minted in 1938 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Jefferson's birth. The 1952 issue was struck in both Philadelphia (without a mint mark) and at the Denver Mint (with a "D" mint mark). The coin is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and it has become collectible among numismatists, particularly in higher grades or with unique variations.
