In 2003, America celebrated the 200th Anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. This celebration called for a new series of coins to be released from the Mint. Under the supervision of Director Henrietta Fore, the Mint released several new coins beginning in 2004 and ending in 2005 that were part of the Westward Journey Nickels. The aim of the series was to commemorate Lewis and Clarks journey westward. The reverses were: a Peace Medal Nickel, a Keelboat Nickel, a Bison Nickel, and a Western Waters Nickel. Each new design represented a part of the journey. The Peace Medal being their interaction with Native Americans, the Keelboat being their mode of transportation, the Bison being their new obstacles, and the Western Waters being their final destination. This series sat well with the public, especially coming off of the extremely successful launch of state quarters.

2004 Nickel Value Chart
by Chris Williams Question: I own over 20 sealed boxes of the '2005 Ocean In View' P & D nickels. So I decided to open a few up. I found a few nickels with the 'ST' in 'Trust' missing. Is that a common error coin? I also pulled a nickel with part of the bottom half missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Very nice website. My Answer: First off, let me say that I am not an expert in error coins, but it does sound like you have found some mint errors. Sometimes a foreign substance such as dirt, grime or machine grease can get stuck in the die which prevents the metal from getting into all the little crevices that should be letters or numbers on a coin. This is a relatively common type of stamping error but I cannot tell you how rare it is in the 2005 'Ocean in View' Nickels. You might check with some of the coin collecting forums.
