Jefferson Nickels are five-cent coins featuring Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The San Francisco Mint produced special proof versions of the Jefferson Nickel in 1970, which typically feature a clear, mirror-like finish. These coins are sought after by collectors, especially those in top grades, due to their limited mintage and unique characteristics. The 1970-S Jefferson Nickel is notable for its relatively low production compared to other years, making it a valuable addition to a collection.
