2006 Westward Journey Nickels Return To Monticello?

It's the first year of the present design.
I wish it were the last too, but to me, that's all that's significant about it.
They sold em tho, as if they were just as important as the other 4 in 2004 and 2005.
(I only like the Bison)
I wish they would have made that a one year coin as well and went back to the design of 1938 on the obverse.

So many hate almost all Nickels except the Indian/Bison ones. It is apparent the US Mint hates them too since they constantly make Nickels to irritate people.

I had no problem with nickels until this new awful obverse. If they wanted to use a new one, the 2005 was much better. I continue to collect them, but only in MS and pretty much just to fill albums.

I do not hate the new design and I welcomed the change. It allowed me to say that my 1938-2003 Jefferson nickel collection is complete.

Low key every single circulating design would look much more appealing if they just made the relief higher, I wish they'd consider doing that for all the numismatic products like mint and proof sets.

Well, as a whole we are reluctant to accept change.

The criticism for this design is fair, admittedly I prefer the 1938 design, but by no means is the 2006 one bad in my eyes.

What I don't get is the disdain for the shield cent reverse, do people really think this design is terrible? I mean it has more going for it than the wheat reverse, but I'm fine with all three. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions but I can't help but feel the reluctance towards shield cents is purely on the merit of nostalgia, it's an absolutely passable design as is.
