    Specify what you’re seeing? All I see is a proof nickel.

    Felix Schlag designed the nickel as released in 1938. In 1966, they added the FS (his initials) to the bust of Jefferson. When they redesigned the obverse to the current (ugly IMO) portrait, they moved his initials to the right of Monticello, as you have depicted in your post.

    Great picture... and I assume you are indicting the initials FS.... I do not see any other oddity. If so, @mvs7 has explained that part. Cheers, RickO

    Always helps if you describe what you think you see. Otherwise most people won't bother to reply... Or worse just guess.

    I see a horseshoe, or better yet an "Omega".

    I see a rabbit on the right confronting a weasel over a bad transaction.

    Agreed. Don't play games. Give the date and mint mark of the coin up front.
