The 1998 Jefferson Nickel is part of the United States Mint's long-running series honoring Thomas Jefferson. The coin features a portrait of Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, his Virginia estate, on the reverse. As a five-cent coin, the Jefferson Nickel has been minted since 1938, and the 1998 edition is notable for its composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel. In terms of collectibility, the 1998 Jefferson Nickel is generally abundant, but specific varieties or higher-grade specimens may hold greater value among collectors.
