First struck in 1913, the Buffalo nickel had long been difficult to coin, and after it completed the 25-year term during which it could only be replaced by Congress, the Mint moved quickly to replace it with a new design. The Mint conducted a design competition, in early 1938, requiring that Jefferson be depicted on the obverse and Jefferson's house Monticello on the reverse. Schlag won the competition, but was required to submit an entirely new reverse and make other changes before the new piece went into production in October 1938.
The Jefferson collections feature a variety of dates, conditions, and styles that most are unaware of. To see more about the Jefferson Nickel, I would recommend visiting usmint.gov. They have a huge amount of verified and official information.
Most people think that the Jefferson Nickel is commonplace (and it is) but there are rarer dates and collectible types.
What happened in 1947:
Roswell UFO incident
India and Pakistan Become Independent Nations
Ferrari begins production of sports cars
First instant camera
Tubeless Tire
Transistor is invented
Sound Barrier Broken
First Mobile Phone
