Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/05/2012 11:30 pm I just picked up three rolls of 42 tombac nickels as part of a bulk purchase. Are there any interesting varieties to look for? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

I collect them when looking taking a break from looking through George VI Fifty Cents... I have at least 100... also look for doubling of the date for 1942 and doubling of the 3 in the date for 1943.

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/06/2012 08:07 am Thanks for the heads up on the varieties. I am not sure what to do with them all! They are all circulated, with a couple that might make MS60. So they are not particularly special but they aren't junk either. I did find a few lower grade die clashes on George VI nickel dates from the same lot plus a 46 that appears to be some sort of a double 46. Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 07:50 am No I don't have the Zoell guides. I have been watching for one but they don't surface very often. Any help would be much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
