Jefferson Nickel 1942 S RPM ?

I checked an older publication on RPMs and don't see a match for this one. I was wondering why the center area of the mint mark was so wide and noticed they all looked that way. I would keep it for now. Maybe a newer publication might have a listing for your coin. There is a die chip on the SE corner, but I see notching on the lower serif. There is a contact mark on the lower bar, but note how large it is compared with the area under the lower serif. Looks interesting. It might be too minor to list or it maybe listed some where else. I just don't know.

Thanks. This belongs to a friend of mine who purchased it as an RPM, but didn't pay extra for it. He didn't see it and was just wondering if it really is.

For these pictures, I use a Kodak Easyshare with 3X optical zoom and take pics right through the eyepiece of an old microscope I've had for years. Works pretty good I think.

Coop - I saw that too, it is close. Perhaps the SW hook is the same, or at least what the dealer thought.
