The U.S. mint has not yet officially announced a new design for the 2006 nickel obvers, here are some of the pending designs, what do you all think, i like the first one, it kind of reminds me of the original bison obvers.   09-27-2005, 08:27 PM   #2 (permalink) KLJ Really Smart Guy     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: US Navy Posts: 650 I'm kind of hoping they'll stay with the one they're using this year. Inventive, clearly coinable in an attractive form (i.e. it doesn't look bad in low relief), and new. All three are rare for the Mint. __________________ Soli Deo Gloria!   09-27-2005, 08:28 PM   #3 (permalink) knowtracks Senior Member     Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: S.W. MONTANA Posts: 382 I'm with you A-C the top is my 1st pick, the middle one, the head is out of proportion (to big) The bottom must be an older Jefferson. __________________ The Congress of the United States says "it's a penny" and so does the A.N.A.

But I wish the hair was different. Too much hair design I guess. Only needs a few squigly lines like in the 1938-2004 so you don't have the "hair fluffs".

Posts: 114 I like Number 1 & 3 Number 2 looks like he should have been buried 6 months ago.   09-28-2005, 12:09 AM   #7 (permalink) pacc76 Member   Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 45 I also like the first one, the third one would be ok (though not as good) if they made the motto similar to the first one and got rid of the lines under it.   09-28-2005, 01:27 AM   #8 (permalink) asian-chick Member     Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 77 Quote: I like Number 1 & 3 Number 2 looks like he should have been buried 6 months ago. ..lol now that u mention it...it reaaly does..   09-28-2005, 08:25 AM   #9 (permalink) SilverDollarMan Collecting Fool     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Cincinnati,O Posts: 641 1 and 3 for me! __________________ Thx Alot Just Learning!

But in 3, it kinda looks like Jefferson has dreads. And, if I recall the Rastafarian movement hadn't made it's way yet. hehehe   09-28-2005, 10:36 AM   #11 (permalink) bplinson Member     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Hockenheim, Germany Posts: 44 I also like 1 and 3. Since these are the designs does this mean we can go ahead and start pre-sales of the 6 coin set and mint rolls on Ebay? __________________ Germany Bert Coin Collector since September 2005 "Some people say that I can not sing, but no one can say that I didn't sing." - Florence Foster Jenkins   09-28-2005, 10:45 AM   #12 (permalink) kiyardo Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: East of West Virginia Posts: 328 BTW, where did you find out that these were the designs to be chosen? I can't find any news story on it.   09-28-2005, 11:29 AM   #13 (permalink) lawdogct Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 1,072 Sticking to just number 1. #2's flaws have been expressed enough....well ok....to me it looks like his head was stuck on a pike.....with #3 I'm not keen on the inner ring design, I prefer a nice clean open field. The Mona Lisa like smirk on his face is kinda odd too......what's so funny I wonder?
