The Second Frith 1942 Nickel Found, Lol Lol.

I'm so glad you asked that question @dbm. I stopped by this thread to fix what I assumed was a typo in the title, but instead learned something.

I ran your image through Fotor AI enhancement, and this is what came out. You will need to zoom out the resolution because I had to zoom in for the screen capture. The AI believes it sees an S in the fog.

Very odd post. I do not believe this coin it is legitim.

Breen see this coin in 1961 and Taxay in 1963. Seem to be an small S and never authentify as original or add. Second could be an man maide error.

Questions about this efemera:
1. was an test coin? No, will be not so circulated
2. The coin now it is in possesion of Silver Town, but never certifyed. Just think of this: you has unique coin and you do not certify? LOL.
3. To day experts I think are better then Breen or Taxay.
4. the originals photos which are only in the Breen Encyclopedia show an strange S.

Years ago ( I think around 2014 or 2015) we had an big debate aboute this "Frith" (name come from this guy who send to Taxay) on PCGS forum and was really at the end state is not legitim coin.

So guys this kind of topic it is just time spend because coins as this are like the clouds in the wind. Will come from no where and go no where.

Hi Silvio,all I did was put up a bad picture of a coin I bought as a prospect LOL but even when it's gets here and probably ends up being nothing there still are rare coins out there to be found by somebody,the first copper 83D,the firs 92D Close AM,lots,but before the first ones were found they were just myths like the 1964 Peace dollar,people swear they were made,some say they saw them made at the mint,the 1974 Aluminum Penny was a myth for 25 years,any coin ever made could have a die mix up,people are people and make mistakes look at the 2000 Sacagawea mules,the Cheerios Sagagawea was not even discovered until years after they were made,value now is over 20 grand USD and somebody had to find the first one,is mine a rarity,I don't know yet,if it has an S on it it's still not legit until they say it is,just saying Sir that there out there yet,just gotta go hunting to find them.

Well that's it,I popped on to see my tracking number at the site(won't say which one I have gotten into trouble before at forums saying website names)and the purchase was cancelled and the money is being returned,no point even guessing why just that it's not coming to me LOL,did they see a suspect an S like me ? Never know now,not even really disappointed the odds were huge BUT if it was real it will hit the news then I'll know,OK sorry guys posted too soon it's not in the mail to me it's not coming now.

Ya I was bummed out too,I don't think the seller was here they only had that one coin the rest of their items were like second half store stuff,I thought of that and won't post stuff I buy till I have a tracking number so I know it's mailed LOL,I know finding a 1941 reverse on a 1942 is a way way longshot and just bought it cause it was 5 bucks and blown uo 100X did look like a S so nothing lost,I have another cool one coming I'll post I'm sure I know what it is,not big bucks but cool coin,I gotta get a scale too,I have lots of 82D smalls and 83's I need to weight up,the one I posted here looks like a copper ?,OK talk to you all soon.
