OCEAN IN VIEW CEREMONY REPORT

Joe Fitzgerald, designer of the new Jefferson nickel obverse
and "Ocean in View" reverse writes: "The ceremony in
Washington State was a whole lot of fun. I signed stuff for
8 1/2 hours on Friday at Cape Disappointment and 5 1/2
hours the next day in Portland. Everyone was really sweet.
Even after lining up for 2 or 3 hours, they were worried about
my hand. It's the first time we'd ever been out to the Northwest
and it was really beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer."

[I saw the new coin for the first time Thursday evening at
a local coin club meeting. Chick Ambrass distributed some
to the members (thanks!). He had ordered rolls from a dealer.
No one at the meeting, myself included, had seen them in
circulation yet. -Editor]
