These types of coins are often referred to as Key, Semi-Key, and Better dates. If you are into collecting or making a profit selling Jefferson Nickels specifically, these are the dates, and this is the list you need to either memorize or save for later.

What are key dates? - The premier dates that serious collectors seek out.

What are semi key dates? - A step down from the key dates. These are also sought after just not as heavily.

What are better dates? - Dates that make the coin just slightly more valuable in general, but not enough to make it a key date.
