Jefferson Nickels are a series of five-cent coins produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1938. The 1963 Jefferson Nickel features a depiction of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his Virginia estate, on the reverse. This coin is part of a long-running series notable for its design and composition, originally made from a copper-nickel alloy. Collectors often seek variations in mint marks, grades, and production errors, with the 1963 version being readily available in uncirculated condition, making it a popular choice among both novice and experienced numismatists.
