tmoneyeagles Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for the history... I do want to just say, that I hated the 2004 and 2005 nickels... They are the ugliest things I'd ever seen in my life (The 05' bison nickel was okay, until I saw the obverse) And I hate the newer nickels too I liked the old nickel obverse and reverse, compared to what we have now (I hated the old jefferson nickel as well) I love the buffalo nickel, and the V nickel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
