The 1998 Jefferson Nickel, produced at the Denver Mint, features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, Jefferson's estate, on the reverse. This coin, composed primarily of nickel and copper, is popular among collectors, particularly for its historical significance and variations in minting marks. The 1998 Denver mint mark signifies it was struck at the Denver facility, which can add to its value and desirability among numismatists.
