djluster Pillar of the Community United States 1327 Posts	Posted 07/23/2006 5:40 pm Nation Gets Second Chance to Buy Historic Nickels from the United States Mint WASHINGTON - Recently signed legislation authorizes the United States Mint once again to sell products containing the popular 2004 and 2005 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ 5-cent coins (nickels). The United States Mint's remaining bags and rolls of nickels, first day coin covers and silver proof sets containing the nickels will go on sale at noon (ET) on July 25, 2006. The Westward Journey Nickel Series marked the first time in 66 years that the Nation's nickel was redesigned. A series of four images on the reverse -- "Peace Medal," "Keelboat," "American Bison" and "Ocean in View" - commemorate the bicentennials of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Louisiana Purchase. The fifth nickel, completing the series, is the 2006 "Return to Monticello" coin that features a forward-facing Thomas Jefferson on the obverse (head side) and Monticello on the reverse. Legislation signed in 2003 that authorized the Westward Journey Nickel Series also ended the United States Mint's authority to issue these coins on December 31, 2005. A "Technical Correction" to the San Francisco Old Mint Commemorative Coin Act signed by President Bush on June 15, 2006, declared that the Secretary of the Treasury "may continue to issue, after December 31, 2005, numismatic items that contain 5-cent coins minted in the years 2004 and 2005." The United States Mint has maintained that if this legislation became law, the United States Mint would offer remaining inventory for sale again. There will be an order limit of 10 per order per household for the United States Mint Silver Proof Set™. These remaining United States Mint products will once again be available for sale: 2005 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ Coin Set Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - American Bison "P" 500-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - American Bison "D" 500-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - American Bison "P" 1,000-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - American Bison "D" 1,000-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - American Bison Two-Roll Set Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - Ocean in View "P" 500-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - Ocean in View "D" 500-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - Ocean in View "P" 1,000-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - Ocean in View "D" 1,000-coin bag Westward Journey Nickel Series™ - Ocean in View Two-Roll Set 2004 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ Official First Day Coin Cover - Peace Medal 2004 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ Official First Day Coin Cover - Keelboat 2005 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ Official First Day Coin Cover - American Bison 2005 Westward Journey Nickel Series™ Official First Day Coin Cover - Ocean in View 2005 United States Mint Silver Proof Set™ These products may be ordered at the United States Mint website at https://www.usmint.gov or by calling 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).

Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 07/23/2006 10:57 pm I think this will make a lot of ebay'ers mad because some of those nickel products were bringing in some bucks.... Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/24/2006 12:32 am I read this article last week and thought the exact same thing, then the article made it on another forum and it proved it, ebay sellers and buyers alike were pretty mad about it because it made their stock/purchase go down in value by a pretty good amount Report this Post to the Staff
Berry Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 07/25/2006 12:25 pm Thanks djluster, I just got off the web site for the U.S. Mint and was able to order some 2005 "stuff". I was on the phone and the iternet with the Mint at the same time and the screen changed on the monitor as I was talking to the lady at the mint. I think this opening up and putting the 2005 items will kill the price of a lot of things that the collectors purchased at a much higher price, including me. Thanks again djluster, Berry Report this Post to the Staff

OldDan Pillar of the Community United States 1203 Posts	Posted 07/26/2006 12:57 pm I really don't care what they sell the rest of this year, as my D and P uncirculated set arrived in the mail yesterday. These along with the proof and silver sets complete the collecting of U.S. coins as far as I'm concerned for this year. Just enough to keep all the denominations current is what I aim to do each year. Then none of this modern coinage for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 08/05/2006 1:28 pm I pretty much agree with Old Dan. However I really like the OIV nickels, and have very few of them. I may order that two roll set, if they are still available. Report this Post to the Staff
