coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 9:22 pm " Red Book" mentions just 1942-P (Type 2) had a proof on the war time nickels. All the other years did not have proofs on the wartime nickels. The 1942-P (type 1) had a proof also. The Type one was less money than the type two. Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/02/2017 10:37 am thanks coop. I wonder why Red Book only lists the type 2 proof. Are the coins in the example yours or have you ever found any of them I know you told me a while back you only search proof nickels? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2017 1:02 pm It lists the Type one proof also. But I was referring to the other years 1943-1945 does not show any proofs those years. So I'm thinking there none struck those other years. The PCGS site only mentions the 1942 Type one and two on it also. No other proof coins the 1943-1945 years. Edited by coop 04/02/2017 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/02/2017 1:31 pm I don't know nearly as much about the path a proof takes compared to a business strike but I wonder why the didn't make a proof those years . I also wonder about the alloy mix for the 42 type 2 proof. Do you know if it was struck using the wartime alloy mix or they used the regular nickel alloy because if they used the latter that may explain why they didn't have any proofs for 43-44-45. Maybe the 42 type 2 was leftover planchets of the original alloy. Just a thought . Thanks for all of your info coop much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
