Best Answer

It was changed to commemorate Lewis and Clark. The design is modernistic but not wrong, just different.

You did see that the rest of the design had changed as well, didn't you? When you think about it, what's the chance that half of the portrait could "slide off" a solid metal coin?

What is the value of an FS nickel?

FS does not identify a nickel except to say that it's a Jefferson nickel. That's the monogram of Felix Schlag, who designed the original Jefferson nickel in 1938. Except for the Westward Journey series coins dated 2005, all nickels minted in the last 45 years carry his initials. Up till 2004 they're under the fold of Jefferson's coat, and from 2006 on they're on the back next to Monticello.
