Jefferson Nickels are a five-cent coin produced by the United States Mint, featuring the profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The 1961 Denver mintmarked Jefferson Nickel is part of the series that began in 1938 and is notable for its relatively high mintage. Collectors often seek coins based on their mintmark, year, and overall condition, with certain years and varieties exhibiting higher demand due to lower production or unique characteristics.
