So the 1994 SMS is for the anniversary of Jefferson's birth, but do you have any idea what the 1997 SMS is to commemorate exactly?

It definitely is a bit more on the pricey side. Overall mintage of 25,000, which is considerably less than the 1994 SMS if the figures I'm reading are correct.

It was part of a Special Set: It wasn't meant for general circulation but as a premium item in the Botanic Gardens set, which celebrated nature.

Which makes me think that there may be other denominations from this 'set' - time to go research that now..

Well here is the 1994-P SMS nickel:
Excellent!

since this is an SMS coin releasing it may remove that designation as well. So it will live with my other other proof nickels
Good call.

Is it the pic or is that reverse really toned like that?
The obverse looks so original.
Nice pick up!

Yes, the reverse is that toned color - looks pretty nice in hand. I'm guessing that this nickel was stored obverse side down for a while to alloe it to tone out like that.
