The Jefferson Nickel, a five-cent coin, was first minted in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1965 Jefferson Nickel is notable within the series as it continued the design after the introduction of the coin's initial design. While no major design changes occurred in 1965, it is part of the broader numismatic interest in Jefferson Nickels, which includes various mint marks and conditions that can affect their collectible value.
