The 1978 Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin produced by the United States Mint, featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his Virginia estate, on the reverse. This coin is part of the Jefferson Nickel series, which began in 1938 and continues to be minted today. 1978 Jefferson Nickels are composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and they are notable for their relatively high mintage, leading to lower collectible values compared to more rare or older coins in the series. Collectors often seek specific varieties or higher-grade examples for their collections.
