The Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin featuring Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Coins minted in 1979 at the Philadelphia Mint are part of the series that began in 1938. These nickels are composed primarily of copper and nickel. Collectors often seek coins in higher grades, with specific interest in those featuring unique errors or variations. The 1979 Jefferson Nickels, while not typically rare, can still be of interest to certain collectors.
