The Jefferson Nickel, a five-cent coin, was first issued in 1938 and features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his Virginia estate, on the reverse. The 1965 Jefferson Nickel was minted in Philadelphia and is part of a series that includes various mint marks; however, this year did not produce any significant varieties or errors making the common coin largely circulated and not highly sought after in terms of numismatic value. Collectors often seek Jefferson Nickels from different years and mint locations for their unique historical context, design variations, and potential for higher grades.
