The US produces their coinage in what is called "coin turn" which means that if you rotate the coin on a 12 o'clock/6 o'clock axis, the reverse is upside down. Most other countries produce their coins in what is called "medal turn" which means that the reverse will be right side up when the coin is rotated on a 12/6 axis.

The coin you mention was the first of five different designs that were produced for the Westward Journey series that the Mint produced from 2004 to 2006. In 2004, the first was the "Peace Medal" design with the handshake which was followed by the "Keelboat" also in 2004. In 2005, the first was the "Bison" followed by the "Ocean in View". Both of these nickels had a new obverse image of Jefferson showing a partial face looking to the right. In 2006, the "Return to Monticello" was produced with Jefferson facing forward (a first for any US coin) and the reverse which reverted to Monticello.

Honestly, you will probably never see an increase in value for these coins in your lifetime. I have about 18,000 in Mint rolls and bags, and I know that I will never recoup the cost of their purchase. I just happen to like the new designs which were a first for the Jefferson nickel since it was introduced in 1939.

Am I on drugs? What's going on in this post? Lol

Sorry everyone but none of those nickels will never be worth anything in our lifetimes.

 

They most certainly will! They will be worth 5 cents each.

 

WE NEED RAIN.
