I guess that would be the buffalo/jefferson nickels, both were minted in 1938. Unless you consider things like die varieties as completely different designs. I really like these numisma-quests by the way. I wouldn't have thought to look that info up for any other reason but it's nice to know offhand.

Buff Nickel.....1913

[chrisfuccione]

1938 the Jefferson and buffalo nickel. CHRIS

[hrlaser]

1999 - SBA Dollars and Brass Bucks, although the latter were not released into circulation until January, 2000..

Thanks, Danielle. Please note that my postal addr changed. (I emailed you with the new one.)

 

BTW, I think my original answer is the more correct one, based on the way you phrased your question. The 2000 Sac's were indeed minted in 1999, as were the 1999 SBA's.

 

Thus, hrlaser's answer is also correct (but late).

EVP,

 

Congratulations for getting the answer changed mere moments before my winning post.

[EVillageProwler]

Thanks, Keith. I didn't realize I was so close to the next post. Technically, though, I think I have grounds to claim that my first response was the actual correct one.
