The 1997 Jefferson Nickel is part of the United States Mint's series first issued in 1938, featuring a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his Virginia estate, on the reverse. This nickel is composed of a cupronickel alloy and has a face value of 5 cents. It was minted both in Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D mint mark), making it collectible among numismatists. The 1997 issue is not considered rare, but certain grades and conditions can enhance its desirability among collectors.
