The 1979 Nickel is part of the Jefferson series, minted from 1938-present.
Most 1979 Nickels are made of a copper-nickel alloy: 75% copper, 25% nickel.
Circulated 1979 Nickels typically hold face value due to high mintage numbers.
Uncirculated or proof 1979 Nickels can fetch higher prices among collectors.
Special mint sets or error coins from 1979 may be worth more than standard issues.
Condition is key: 'Full Steps' on Monticello can increase a 1979 Nickel's value.
Check for mint marks: 'D' for Denver, 'P' for Philadelphia, 'S' for San Francisco.
The 'S' mint mark indicates a proof coin, which is often more valuable.
Consult coin guides or professional appraisers to accurately assess your 1979 Nickel.
Preserve your 1979 Nickel in a cool, dry place to maintain its condition and value.
