Is it just me or does TJ's hair look kinda "funny".



Borrowed the pic off an eBay sale, first actual photo I've seen.

oh goodnes please tell me that is not what they look like... please someone confim that is fake?

When I saw your picture I only thought one thing
"Miss Hathaway"

OMFG!!! That is the new "Miss Hathaway" Nickle! lollol!!!!111!!!!!

Now for the bigger question, why is it in a SGS tomb?

Tom had a bad haircut day on that nickel.

That is one UGLY coin! Is that a new one that they are just issuing, or what?

Yep.

What??

How much are they paying people to get them?

A mullet?

Really bad lighting. Fire the photographer! Check http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=Photo to find the mint's images (and images of the 1933 $20 gold!).

Someone revoke his Photoshop licence please

That coin in the SEGS holder rots.

Not sure if it's the hair or the dent he seems to have in his forehead. Must be an old Revolutionary War injury...

Well, to me it isn't just the hair that looks bad. The portrait reminds me of those old "Planet of the Apes" movie series from the '70s. TJ could be one of the ape characters. Our mint seems to have no access to engravers worthy of the job title.

Andy, I am speechless!!

What a talent you have! I like the Hathaway coin much, much better!

You should send that to the Mint. They might hire you!

Ringo Starr from about 35 years ago? That is truly one ugly coin.

Adams Family - Lurch.... da-da-da-da,,knock,knock.....
.........'you rang...."

I will wait until I see one in person but I am not impressed by the looks of that image from Ebay.

BTW: I think the Return To Monticello stuff is just hokey.

lmao in rl!!

Was Jefferson a flower child? His eyes are all whirly-swirly.





I will wait before I pass judgement too, but on first impression I prefer last year's version.



You do the hokey-pokey and they turn a nice pro-fit.
That's what it's all about!

Yikes


but, to keep it fair, I'll do the same as Stujoe and Sir Sisu, wail till I have one in hand and only then make up my opinion on it.

bah... what fun is that? waiting until you have all the facts before you form an opinion... next thing is that you'll tell us that you actually stop at all stop signs.

what's a stop sign?

Augustus St. Gaudens was high on drugs when he designed the $20 coin

Maybe someone should have found out what he was taking and given it to the current designers.

a very cool mullet!

This I gotta see.... more info?

Oh, sweet merciful invisible supernatural father figure... if this is what they're doing to poor ol' Tommy J, my expectations for the centennial of the Lincoln cent are being dialed seriously downward. Why didn't they just leave the 'peekaboo' obverse in place?
