Is that correct? No, it can have a large "P". The letter "P" (Philadelphia) WAS used for the first time on a US coin, the 1942 Jefferson nickel. But only on the Wartime Silver Alloy (1942-1945) Jefferson nickel. Nickels minted before October 8th, 1942 'Copper Nickel composition' will NOT have the large "P". You will find 1942 Jefferson nickels with and without the large "P". Cuds-on-Coins http://cuds-on-coins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff

Clarification is always good. :O) What is unique about Heynow's 1942 nickel is that it was produced using a silver planchet, but it does not have the large 'P' above the dome as it should if it were an average Type Two 1942 Jefferson nickel. ~ Mark Edited by dd27 09/06/2016 12:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
