Jefferson Nickels are a denomination of U.S. coins featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Minted since 1938, these coins have undergone various design changes and mint mark variations. The 1979 Jefferson Nickel from the Denver Mint is notable, as it was produced during a period when nickel composition was primarily 75% copper and 25% nickel. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance and variations in minting.
