Description: eBay StoreVintage Jefferson Nickels from the 1939-1950's Lot of 12 Circulated ~LQQK!~~FREE SHIPPING!~ Jefferson Nickels By the 1930s, the use portraits of past presidents as design motifs on lower denomination coins, which began in 1909 with the Lincoln cent, became more widespread following the introduction in 1932 of the Washington quarter. Buffalo nickels had been issued for 25 years by 1938, so it was time for a new design. Treasury Department officials initiated a competition for a new nickel design that would feature an image of President Thomas Jefferson, the obverse and one of Monticello, his Charlottesville, Virginia home, on the reverse. The winning designs were those of Felix Schlag, a German American sculptor, and production began in September 1938. However, Schlag’s original submission for the reverse was not the front-facing, rather stark perspective Treasury officials later requested and selected for the coin but was a side view of Monticello from an angle with trees included that numismatists considered more attractive.
