2005  U.S. Mint Westward Journey Nickel Series Coin sets with COA & Box

2005 Westward Journey Nickel Series Coin set -2 proof and 4 Uncirculated nickels

2005 Summer/Fall Reverse Design: "Ocean in view! O! The joy!"
In late 2005, the nickel will feature a scene of the Pacific Ocean and an inscription reflecting an excited entry in the journal of Captain William Clark on November 7, 1805. The design – a design based on a photograph by Andrew E. Cier of Astoria, Oregon – visually depicts the expedition's exultation on believing they had finally reached the Pacific Ocean after so many months of arduous travel. View Mr. Cier's photograph here.

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.

The cursive "Liberty" inscription, which debuted on the 2005 nickels, is again presented in Jefferson's own handwriting.

The obverse was engraved by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Donna Weaver.
