The 1982 Jefferson Nickel, part of the United States coinage, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The coin is composed of a cupronickel alloy, and its design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in 1938. The 5-cent denomination nickel has become popular among collectors, especially in higher grades or with specific mint marks, due to its historical significance and the legacy of Jefferson. Collectors often seek out 1982 nickels in uncirculated condition or those with unique characteristics, such as error coins or variations in minting.
