The magnificent set features the following 5 (five) Brilliant Uncirculated Keel Boat Nickels in five varieties:
* Hologram
* Colorized
* 24K Pure Gold Plated
* Mint Mark "P"
* Mint Mark "D"
The 2004-dated Jefferson nickel will feature an angled, side-view of the keelboat with full sail that transported members of the expedition and their supplies through the rivers of the Louisiana Territory in search of a northwest passage to the Pacific Ocean.
Built to the specifications of Captain Lewis, the 55-foot keelboat could be sailed, rowed, poled like a raft, or towed from the riverbank.
The design, by United States Mint sculptor/engraver Al Maletsky, shows Captains Lewis and Clark in full uniform in the bow of the keelboat.
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 clear acrylic 2-sided viewable holder as shown
