Jefferson Nickels are a series of five-cent coins issued by the United States Mint, first produced in 1938. The obverse features a profile of Thomas Jefferson, while the reverse initially displayed Monticello, Jefferson's Virginia estate. Jefferson Nickels have been minted in various compositions, including nickel-brass and pure nickel, particularly during World War II when a war-time composition was introduced. Collectors often seek specific years, mint marks, and design variations, such as the 2004-2005 Westward Journey series, which included modified reverse designs. Key dates and high-quality examples in uncirculated or proof conditions can command significant premiums in the collector market.
