Jefferson Nickels are a series of coins produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1938. The 5-cent piece features a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1954 San Francisco Jefferson Nickel, distinguished by its "S" mint mark, is a collectible due to its relatively low mintage compared to other years. Collectors often seek this coin in higher grades for its numismatic value, which can vary based on condition and demand.
