Your 'foreign job' is a British decimal penny (worth 1.5c approx) - I hadn't realised I could spend them in the USA as nickels!

Quote: Very nice, but there were no proofs that year; only SMS, which that likely is. Two 1966 proof coins were given to the designer. There is a chance that this may be one of them! I'll sell it to you for $1 million. Bargain of the century right there, I tell ya!

Maybe true (some sources say proof while others say special), but it is highly unlikely that this is one of his coins. Even if his were true proofs, I have seen plenty of proof-like SMS coins to remove all doubt. But we can still dream, right?  (And it is still a darn good find!)

I have searched $30 and found 3 '41, 1 '40, and a single '43 P.

CJ- You found a '43 in just $30? Was this $30 of bank wrapped rolls or from another source?

It was a BWR and yes only $30. I never have bought more than $30 at a time. Sometimes I buy $20-$30 twice a week or just once a week and take a week or two off. Been searching nickels for about ten months and only found 13 War Nickels.

Oh okay.. so its not your first $30. That makes more sense. I have been through thousands of dollars in cents and have never found a 1943. Well.. I got one from a reject bin, but that doesn't really count.

Baysinger are you talkin about cents? I have never found a '43 cent in circulation. I found a '43 War Nickel.

I found these at work today.  The "S" War Nickel is from 1945. It also happens to be a coin that I don't have in my '38 to '61 Whitman. Score!  I usually throw back the '05 nickels, but this one was almost perfect. Just a few very minor dings. It happens to be my favorite Jefferson nickel design. I wish the mint would have stuck with this design...the newer version is my least favorite of all nickel designs.
