The 1962 Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin minted in the United States that features Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. It is part of the larger Jefferson Nickel series, which was first introduced in 1938. The 1962 coins were produced in both Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D mint mark), and San Francisco (S mint mark), with the San Francisco coins being primarily produced for collectors in proof condition. The 1962 Jefferson Nickel is notable for its relatively high mintage, with some varieties and conditions making it more collectible among numismatists. Collectors often seek out these coins for their historical significance, design, and as part of completing a Jefferson Nickel set.
