Jefferson Nickels are five-cent coins featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1965 Jefferson Nickel, minted in San Francisco, is part of a series that began in 1938 and is notable for its significant design continuity. Collectors often seek out variations and mint marks, with the San Francisco mint mark "S" denoting coins produced in that facility. Coins from this era can be valued based on their condition, mint mark, and any unique characteristics, such as toning or errors.
