Jefferson Nickel Inlay 2003

Price: $5.00

In 1938, the Treasury Department announced a competition for designs to replace the Indian Head Buffalo Nickel. The winning design, submitted by the German-American sculptor Felix Schlag, featured a left-facing portrait of Thomas Jefferson dressed in period clothing and wearing a peruke wig. First introduced by the United States Mint in November 1938, the Jefferson Nickel has honored America´s third president for more than six decades. In 2004, this classic nickel design was replaced by two new designs commemorating the Louisiana Purchase and the Expedition of Lewis and Clark.
