2005 Westward Journey Nickel Set- Ocean in View! D & P Mint 2 Coin Set

2005 Nickels

In commemoration of the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition, the President enacted Public Law 108-15 to modify the Jefferson 5-cent coin (nickel) to reflect images evocative of the historic expedition into the Louisiana Territory.

Each set is comprised of Philadelphia mint mark and Denver mint mark. The coins are struck on our main production floors at the United States Mint at Philadelphia and Denver.

The design was created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist, Joe Fitzgerald, of Silver Spring, Maryland, and was sculpted by United States Mint sculptor/engraver Donna Weaver.

Uncirculated roll photos are displayed to show that the coins are indeed uncirculated.
