Are they going back to the Schlag profile (they should) or the front-facing low relief "drag queen" portrait from 2006?

Unfortunately, as I understand it, the 2006 design will be repeated.

The Schlag design is history. The forward-facing Jefferson is now the standard obverse.

Follow-up question:

Do collectors of "classic" Jefferson nickels now consider their series "ended"? Does the 2006 portrait start a new "type"?

Drag Queen?

The forward facing Jefferson is based on an actual portrait by Rembrandt Peale. I think that is just what people looked like back then. Here's a copy of the actual portrait.

And here is another portrait by the same artist showing how Jefferson really looked like

A low relief piece of crap? I recall that design for the last few decades...
