The Jefferson Nickel is a five-cent coin produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1938 to honor Thomas Jefferson. The 1987 Jefferson Nickel features a design by Felix Schlag, depicting Jefferson's portrait on the obverse and his Monticello residence on the reverse. Coins minted in Philadelphia during this year lack a mint mark, making them identifiable only by their year of issuance. Jefferson Nickels are popular among collectors for their historical significance and variations in the design over the years.
