The 1987 Jefferson Nickel, part of the United States Mint's five-cent denomination, features a profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his estate in Virginia, on the reverse. This coin is crafted from a copper-nickel composition and has no significant rare varieties from that year, making it generally accessible to collectors. Jefferson Nickels were first issued in 1938 and are notable for their enduring popularity among numismatists, especially during the period of their 50th anniversary in 1988.
