I'll take that if they redesign the dime. Yuck.

I guess we should be "excited" about this design change?

They could just keep the 2005 designs and that would be fine by me.

I agree.

Welcome back Monticello! One of us is glad the 2005 reverse is getting the boot.

What about the obverse? Will the 2005 be retained cos i kind of find that one a heck of alot better than the spaghetti haired one.

Sounds good to me

Not a Buffalo fan either?

I was looking forward to something along this line.



1938 Schlag Pattern Jefferson Nickel

What a load of crap - the nickel design is being held hostage by politicians from Virginia.

Yes indeed, it is disgusting that a nickel design is held up by a lobby of politicians in one state.

Jefferson stayed on the nickel and that should have been enough. I think nobody forgets that he was from Virginia.

He was from Virginia?

Well that's something new i learned today.

Your forgiven. Virginia is called the birthplace of Presidents.

And here I thought Virginia was only for Lovers.

Well, the coin world had photos of the "old" reverse and the "new" reverse on the cover today, and granted I am not a Jefferson expert, but they look the same to me. Very disappointing...

as long as the obverse stays this way i don't care what they do with the reverse..





like my opinion means anything to them though

Which obverse?

The 2005 obverse i really kinda like. The obverse from 1938-2004 i care absolutely nothing for at all, in fact i actively don't like it. But that's just me.

I don't like any of the reverses much either. No eagles.

Having said that though i still prefer a building to a buffalo. As you can tell i'm not a nickel fan. Liberty Nickels are the only ones i actually like.

I could not agree more.
