<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3433013, member: 19250&quot;]Some very nice nickels posted in this thread, I wished I had kept up and posted some of mine.</p><p>I have two complete collections of MS Jefferson nickels to 2003 with all major varities, as well as proof collection complete less the 1971 s no s which does not count in the set .I sold that coin a few years back....in fact I had 2 ....1 graded 67 deep camo and the other was still in the proof set when I sold it.</p><p>I must say this I loved collecting Jeffersons until 2003 when the Jefferson nickel I knew and loved to collect turned into a &quot;Freak Show&quot; image on the coin.</p><p>The mint / goverment back in 03 should of scrapped the nickel as we knew it and did a complete redesign!</p><p>Can someone please explain to me why coins designed 100 year ago or more designs look better than the designs of today.... I wouldn&#039;t buy another U.S. mint product if you held a gun to my head!</p><p>Poor designs, poor quality,and even revisiting designs of past years, ie the mercury dime, SLQ, and Walker half they still took a timeless design and made it look like a cartoon character! Sorry Ron....on venting...nice thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
