Lex26744 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 3:29 pm I found one that appears to have a 1 under the 2, not to mention it doesn't appear to be 40 percent silver. It looks like a normal 1941 or type 1 1942. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 15675 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 3:42 pm I have never heard of an Overdate for this Nickel.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 4122 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 3:49 pm 42-P was made in both nickel and silver versions. Pic of the reverse would help. Please crop and orientate you pictures to make them more "viewable". Welcome to the Community! We look forward to you participation! Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 4122 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 5:20 pm Thanks for the pics. Your coin is a 1942-P type 2 .... this is the silver version from that year. I think what you are seeing may be die scratches or post mint damage ( PMD). Others may have a different opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Pillar of the Community Canada 6161 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 5:45 pm Did a little editing on the date. I can't see how there is possibly a 1 under the 2. If you wait, all that happens is you get older. Report this Post to the Staff

Lex26744 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 12:58 am What I'm talking about is a straight line directly in the middle of where the 2 is curved at top going down and disappearing behind bottom bar of the bottom of the 2. its raised when you look at it from the side. It also on the back where the mint mark would be normally is a faint raised s like the 41 big s had. Does it look like a 40 percent silver coin to anyone else? Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 4122 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 01:32 am The big "P" above the Dome denotes that it was made in Philadelphia and is about 30% silver. It is a common silver wartime alloy nickel. I now think the stuff you are seeing around the date is post mint damage. If a 42/41 nickel overdate was to have surfaced it would have been discovered a long time ago. Report this Post to the Staff
