TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/30/2021 09:14 am I believe up until 2004 FS appeared under Jefferson's bust on the obverse. Then in 2006 the FS initials appeared on the reverse to the right of the Monticello building. This might be your answer. I do have a 1990 D that is missing FS on the obverse. It is probably the result a Grease Filled Die in that area. This is a circulated example of a Jefferson nickel without the FS showing under the bust of Jefferson. It is completely missing, probably due to a filled die with compacted grease and nickel particles. I have not seen another and have not noticed another example of gradual disappearance. I wonder just how many there are to be found? Report this Post to the Staff
