<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7790608, member: 117420"]Indeed a great, limited series plus story of history, et al...thanks so much! Can't help but think of such longevity on our coins. As mentioned, the original Jefferson rendering on the nickel from 1938-2004 spanned 66 years which, coincidentally, is the same number of years without changes that Washington's profile appeared unchanged on the quarter...66 years...from 1932-1998...(not talking mint-marks or subtle tweaks)! As of today/2021, Jefferson...in one form or another before, during and after the Westward Journey series...continues on the nickel after 83 consecutive years, while Washington, likewise, has graced the quarter for 89 successive years...the longest and second-longest on any U.S. non-"copper" coins...! (Lincoln, of course, has graced the penny obverse for 112 years, since 1909). Amazing. But not to worry if anything should change with Tom and/or George...FDR isn't far behind, if not ahead of both plus also the penny in some ways: FDR has been on the dime in the same profile along with the same 'torch' reverse without ANY changes for 75 years this year...1946-2021...which no other coin can boast of. So, congrats and happy 75th anniversary to the Roosevelt dime...![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
