<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8350271, member: 101855&quot;]Felix Schlag won the contest in a field of 390 entries for the Jefferson Nickel design. The strange thing is, the mint changed the design almost completely before the first coins were issued in 1938. It makes you wonder why did the mint pick Schlag&#039;s design in the first place? Here is a modern fantasy piece that showcases the original Schlag design. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1481434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1481435[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This design was never produced in coin form. Schlag submitted a plaster model, but it was never turned into dies that could make a finished coin.
