2002 FSNC Issued Felix Schlag Design Silver Nickel Tribute

Full Step Nickel Club Issued Felix Schlag Design
One Proof and One Satin Matte Finish.
These were off my coiners tray, tucked away. So...obviously they sre unnumbered/unencapsulated.
These are the first edition and have the initials FSNC 2002 to indicate they were produced under the auspices of the Full Step Nickel Club in 2002.
The Landis Studios editions have those markings removed.

The design was Felix Schlag’s winning design in the Jefferson Nickel design competition but was never produced as Mr. Schlag had intended. Instead, the lettering was changed along the the view of Jefferson’s home, Monticello. These fantasy strikes illustrate the Jefferson Nickel the way the artist had originally intended before the Mint made their alterations.
