Only worth silver price (around $3 IIRC), though if you search I'm sure you could find a collector who would love to get those even for $4+ Report this Post to the Staff

baer2ymcmb Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 11:36 am Really? The 1943-d is in really really good shape all around, very fine condition. Still only valued at melt? :( sad Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 12:45 pm Those dates really have to be at least high-AU to be worth much more than melt. In VF-XF you might find somebody who would pay $4 for them, but that's about it. The high WWII mintage and high survival rates (people were socking away rolls and rolls of uncirculated coins speculatively because the hobby was taking off), mean they really are only desirable uncirculated condition. You can check for varieties. I can't tell from your photo, but if your 1942-D is actually a 1942/1-D it's worth a lot of money. Some of the RPMs are worth a premium to a variety collector. (If you think about it - how much would you play for circulated 1940s wheat cents or Jefferson nickels?) Edited by CaptainFwiffo 06/09/2012 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36782 Posts	Posted 06/10/2012 2:31 pm The 42/41-D is not as obvious as the 42/41. Check the bottom of the 4 and bottom of the 2. Report this Post to the Staff
