JBNickels New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 12/09/2016 1:42 pm I have read several times that during the decision to change the design of US coinage, that Charles Barber had made several designs of a "Washington Nickel" Do we have any pictures of this, or is it just a rumor? I would kind of like to see this design! Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 12/09/2016 4:43 pm Took a few minutes for me to find the answer to your question. 1909 saw 7 different pattern designs for the nickel; 6 of them featured George Washington. These seven patterns reside in the Smithsonian Collection. The patterns featuring Washington are Judd-1934/Pollock-2017 Judd-1935/Pollock-2018 Judd-1936/Pollock-2019 Judd-1937/Pollock-2020 Judd-1938/Pollock-2021 Judd-1939/Pollock-2022 Images of these can be seen on US Patterns http://uspatterns.stores.yahoo.net/1909.html Report this Post to the Staff
