<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 7959187, member: 66&quot;]There was another reverse design submission that is almost identical to the adopted 1938 - 2003 design.&nbsp; The difference was that FIVE CENTS was in larger letters with the letters drawn to a point so the words kind of formed a triangle or shield shape.&nbsp; Basically Schlag was awarded the competition, but both the obv and reverse were altered so the only thing remaining on his design was Jefferson&#039;s bust.&nbsp; And several other submissions used the same or nearly the same bust.&nbsp; (Not surprising since the rules of the competition specified the artists use the Houdon bust of Jefferson currently in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1379776[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
