What The Deuce???
I'm quite certain you are all going to laugh at me, but I did look back at Timmy's blog, and have found NO INFORMATION on this, thus far - so you can't really point fingers at me for being out of the loop...
**WHEN THE PHUNK DID THEY COME OUT WITH THESE FREAKY NEW NICKELS???**
I just now saw one for the first time, and it freaked me out!! I thought I'd gotten some foreign coin for a sec. Please someone tell me, is this something brand new, or have I been in a drunken stupor for the past ?? weeks/months/years?? Or or OR... could this be some crazy misprint and I'm fixin' to be a gazillionaire... oooh that would be great... I will be keeping my 'possibly-priceless-but-possibly-worth-five-lousy-cents' nickel in a warm safe place until further investigations have been made...
PS not that you care, but me no likey the new coins... if Jefferson's face was any more close-up on the coin, they'd have to include pores and pot marks... just sayin'...
Toodloo!!

These have been out since 2004, only this year did they change his face. But in 2004, the mint put out 2 new backs to the nickles. One is a boat of sorts, which was the keelboat that was part of the transportation for Lewis and Clark's expeditionand one is for the Louisiana purchase, which Jefferson now regrets I am sure due to soggyness. The back of that one is hands shaking and peace pipes I think. The 3rd new nickle has his face UPCLOSE and will have a buffalo on the back, and the other will be a close up with a view of the pacific ocean, which was the goal and final destination of Lewis and Clark. here is a link about it all....
