(click on image to enlarge)
- For the first time since 1938, the U.S. Mint will produce a new Nickel design. It
is the
first commemorative Nickels ever struck by the U.S. Mint!
- The
magnificent set features the following 5 (five) Brilliant Uncirculated Louisana
Purchase Peace Medal Nickels in five varieties:
- Hologram
- Colorized
- 24KT Pure Gold
Plated
- Mint Mark "P"
- Mint Mark "D"
- In commemoration of the Louisiana Purchase, and Lewis and Clark's expedition,
the President enacted Public Law 108-15 to modify the Jefferson five-cent coin
(nickel) to reflect images of the historic
expedition into the Louisiana Territory. The first of two new reverses on the 2004-dated Jefferson nickel features a
rendition of the reverse of the original Indian Peace Medal commissioned for
Lewis and Clark's expedition, bearing the likeness of America's third president
on one side, and symbols of peace and friendship on the other. The design, by United States Mint sculptor/engraver Norman E. Nemeth, features
two hands clasped in friendship - one with a military uniform cuff, symbolizing
the American government, and the other with a silver band adorned with beads and
a stylized American eagle, representing the Native American community with whom
the United States sought good relations.
- Each
coin is a limited edition that can never be made again, and just a small fraction
of all coins have been set aside by the Merrick Mint for these spectacular collections.
- Each set comes with a Certificate
of Authenticity and Black Felt Display box with Acrylic 2-sided viewable holders as shown
- We at the Merrick Mint take great pride in our
Nickel Sets as it is one of our many signature products.
Our Nickel collections are
rated #1 by our customers for design, quality, and content. If you are a
