Thanks to all who have voted and voiced your opinion.
#1 is still currently holding the lead with 73% of the votes.

Part of the reason I imagine this sticks out poorly to others is because it clashes with all the other designs for not being a profile. I actually like that its not just another profile, I just think it was executed poorly. Aside from cutting off part of his head it looks like he has a mullet which as glorious as those are I'm pretty sure Jefferson didn't rock one. |

I voted for #1, but I actually prefer the bust before they accented his hair. #2 is fine with me for a one year issue. #3 is horrendous to me. Quote:

I'm surprised at the popularity of the original Jefferson design.
It is currently holding 78% of the vote!

#2 is my favorite artistically, but it isn't very practical - just a little wear or a few bumps and the eye appeal drops to zero. I loved them when they came out - a real breath of fresh air.
#3 is my least favorite of all permanent modern US designs. It just does nothing for me.
#1 is a classic, AND it stands up to decades worth of wear. I love the look of old veteran 1940s nickels that still show up from time to time in pocket change. Admittedly, I do agree that the classic higher relief was better than the newer iterations.

#1...That's why they call it a classic design.

#3 is the best because it shows more of Jefferson. It should be a deeper strike, though.
