The 2003 Jefferson Nickel is part of the United States' five-cent denomination coin series, featuring a design that honors Thomas Jefferson, the country's third president. Jefferson Nickels produced in 2003 are noteworthy for their composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and they adhere to the classic design introduced in 1938, showcasing a profile of Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. Collectors often seek specific mint marks from the Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco mints, with the 2003-D variety being more prevalent due to higher mintage levels. Overall, Jefferson Nickels are popular among numismatists for their historical significance and changing designs over the years, including the Westward Journey series initiated in 2004.
