Jefferson Nickel - Background & Design: Since 1938, the Jefferson nickel has played a vital role as the United States Mint's five-cent coin, succeeding the iconic Buffalo nickel. Designed by Felix Schlag, the early copper-nickel coins featured a profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the esteemed founding father and third President of the United States. Over time, the obverse design underwent subtle changes, with Joe Fitzgerald introducing a forward-facing depiction of Jefferson in 2006. Meanwhile, the reverse design, showcasing Monticello, Jefferson's residence, has remained consistent, except for commemorative designs introduced in 2004 and 2005. During World War II, nickel became a critical resource for the war effort, leading to modifications in nickel production. From 1942 to 1945, the Mint switched to striking nickels using a copper-silver-manganese alloy, ensuring seamless compatibility with vending machines. These "war time" nickels are easily identifiable by the prominent mint mark located above Monticello on the reverse side. In 2004 and 2005, the Jefferson nickel underwent further design changes as part of the Westward Journey nickel series, returning to Schlag's original reverse design in 2006 and featuring Franki's forward-facing obverse depiction. The Jefferson nickel's diverse history, spanning over eight decades, showcases the evolution of its design and the significant role it played during times of war. As a numismatic treasure, collecting Jefferson nickels provides enthusiasts with an opportunity to appreciate the historical significance and artistic craftsmanship of these coins. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a history enthusiast, adding Jefferson nickels to your collection allows you to embrace a tangible connection to America's past and the enduring legacy of Thomas Jefferson.
