SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 5:44 pm Found is some recently acquired War Nickels. So I looked on PCGS for a 1942-D and no joy... I looked on Numista and again all other years are there except 1942-D... Hopefully someone out there is an expert on Nickels because this one is strange. All other War Nickels I have the MM is above Monticello Dome This one is on the right side of Monticello... Did Denver not produce a 1942 War Nickel or is like the one and only 1942-S found and verified? Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 7:01 pm Denver did not produce a silver version nickel. That is why there are only 11 in the four year set Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15522 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 7:34 pm Yours is a relatively tough coin find ... but not silver. Concur with the replies above ... any 1942-D Jefferson is the pre-war composition ... and no large mintmark above the dome. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 01/21/2018 4:18 pm Thanks coop! Another great illustration to go in my collection. I found (2) 1942-P with no mm and then the '42 D and was very confused as I thought the mm was always above the dome for '42-'45... You never stop learning on here... Report this Post to the Staff
