HoboNickelCarver Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 08:31 am I'm surprised at the popularity of the original Jefferson design. It is currently holding 78% of the vote! Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 09:30 am #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. Report this Post to the Staff

The super high mintages require low relief to increase speed and die life.
