- For the first time since 1938, the U.S. Mint will produce new Nickel designs. It
is the
first commemorative Nickels ever struck by the U.S. Mint!

to Monticello Nickels in five varieties:
- Hologram
- Colorized
- 24KT Pure Gold
Plated

- In commemoration of the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis
and Clark expedition, the President enacted Public Law 108-15 to modify the
Jefferson 5-cent coin (nickel) to reflect images evocative of the historic
expedition into the Louisiana Territory. The United States Mint began the
Westward Journey Nickel Series™ in 2004 with the release of the "Peace Medal"
and "Keelboat" nickels. In 2005, the "President Jefferson with Handwritten
Liberty" image appeared on the obverse with two new designs on the reverse:
"American Bison" and "Ocean in view! O! The joy!" In 2006 the obverse features
the "Jefferson, 1800" image and the reverse features "Return to Monticello".
- The obverse of the 2006 nickel depicts a portrait of Thomas Jefferson
completed during 1800. The reverse of the 2006 nickel features the classic, familiar rendition of
Monticello, President Thomas Jefferson's Virginia home, originally executed by
artist Felix Schlag and first chosen to adorn the coin's reverse in 1938.
- Each
coin is a limited edition that can never be made again, and just a small fraction
of all coins have been set aside by the Merrick Mint for these spectacular collections.
- Each set comes with a Certificate
of Authenticity and Black Felt Display box as shown.
- We at the Merrick Mint take great pride in our
Nickel Sets as it is one of our many signature products.
Our Nickel collections are
rated #1 by our customers for design, quality, and content. If you are a
