No problem, I just saw it as good fun. No harm, no foul.

My "making the point" was for the others.

LOL To further explain my thinking. As Jbuck said, the two non silver 42s are tied in as they show the change in priorities needed to go into full war gear. To me, a War Nickel run is not complete without them.

Celtic, that baby is now residing in my Dansco Jefferson album. The album is the one including the proofs, hence my requirement of nothing less than AU58 on the non proof coins.

mitch, yeah, the reverse IS awesome. One of the few coins I have where the reverse is the side I would display first (aside from the state/ATB quarters, westward nickels or the special lincolns). But since its in the Dansco, its in normal.

NickelGuy, I have only found like 2 or 3 of the silver nickels and none of the 42 plain or D in the last few years. Id love to find a few in rolls every box. :)

Excellent looking coin Smokey ... interesting viewpoint on the 1942 Cu-Ni nickels being ' War Nickels' ... but I support your premise and offer my sincere congratulations for finding such a lovely specimen.

I love your '42-D Nickel!

The 1942-D is the lowest mintage five-cent coin of that year, and I would think less percentage of 1942 Cu-Ni's
were saved in Mint State than that year's 35% silver issues.

When you take the Denver Mint tour (no cameras allowed ), you get to see (and even touch, if you want to) the Mint's " War Nickel" sorter.
Since the wartime-planchet coins had about five cents of silver content even when they were new,
the Fed had a contingency plan to recall them from circulation immediately after the war.
Never enacted, but the sorter is a car-sized reminder of what could have happened.

Thanks DNA. I want to tour that place if I ever get out to Denver again. Sucks no cameras though.

OK, so I grabbed 40 bucks in rolls today, and guess what I find. A 42 (the 42 I have in the Dansco was a pain to find in this grade range and not ugly and not a cheap one either). LOL NOT this grade not a D, but a bit ironic none the less.
