Jefferson Nickels are a five-cent coin featuring Thomas Jefferson, first issued in 1938. The 1990 Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickel is notable for its design by Felix Schlag, depicting Jefferson's profile on the obverse and his home, Monticello, on the reverse. Coins minted at the Philadelphia Mint lack a mint mark, distinguishing them from those minted in other locations, such as Denver or San Francisco. Jefferson Nickels have become popular among collectors for their historical significance and varying mintages, particularly in certain years.
