Jefferson Nickels are five-cent coins minted in the United States, featuring a depiction of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. The 1978 Jefferson Nickel was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, which did not use a mint mark. These coins are part of a long-running series that started in 1938 and are made primarily of copper and nickel. While generally circulated, certain examples, especially in uncirculated condition or with specific errors, can be of interest to collectors.
