11 MS War Nickels in a Capitol holder produce 4 varieties. I haven't really collected Jefferson nickels since the '70's and then, only from pocket change. Too much MD and "false" varieties tax my eyes and limited knowledge now-a-days. But I got this set a few weekends back because they were complete, MS and in a Capitol holder. I thought "Why not!" I was very pleasantly surprised to find 4 varieties in the group. Unfortunately it also looks like a yellow tint in some areas from finger prints(?). (The following list has the stages as best I can determine, so any assistance as I post each one individually over the next week or so will be greatly appreciated.) I believe the four varieties are: 1942s DDO-001 Stage A 1944s DDO-002 Stage A 1945d RPM-010 Stage B 1944d DDO- (?) - Doesn't seem to match any on VV. This one seems to be an RPM also but even though the doubling is similar to DDO-003 the MM placement is different and the die crack marker on the dome seems to be missing. (And I will be posting each one separately as time allows over the next week or so.) Thanks for looking and any comments.   Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Thanks GC, it was a pretty good deal. John1, I'll have to check. Is that a regular occurance on War Nickels or just Jeffs in general? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

There's a lot of RPMs on these nickels. So don't forget to check for these as well.

It certainly was a good score.
And thanks for the heads up on RPM's Coop.

Thanks everyone and I'll definitely get the first one up this weekend (maybe two if I can carve out the time.)
Anyone have a preference on which one I start with?
