The 1988 Jefferson Nickel, produced at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of a longstanding series that began in 1938. This five-cent coin features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The composition is primarily copper with a nickel overlay. Collectors often seek out specific mint marks, such as those from Denver or San Francisco, but Philadelphia coins are generally more common. The coin is notable for its design and as a representation of American numismatic history.
