<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 287644, member: 307&quot;]I started collecting Jefferson nickels because they were accessible. I could collect from change (still can and do!) or I could go after a high end fully struck set in MS. The possibilities are almost limitless and there are dates for which full steps aren&#039;t known to exist, so there is discovery to be done as well!</p><p><br /></p><p>I love nickels, but I wish that the design had not been hi-jacked by certain zealots. Rightly so, my brother pointed out to me that although the nickel design is now mandated to stay Jefferson and Monticello, an act of congress is all that would be required to change the design of the nickel. In other words, although the Sec. of the Treasury has the disgression to change any coin&#039;s design after 25 years, the secretary cannot change the nickel except to change to a new portrait of Jefferson or Monticello. </p><p><br /></p><p>Truthfully, I don&#039;t think it would happen without congress mandating it anyways, so the &quot;land grab&quot; of the nickel is more ceremonial than anything. It just kind of rubs me the wrong way is all... but that&#039;s a different thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
