ASometimes New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 6:16 pm Poll Question Pictures of nickel are included. Not sure about the quality of the photos, but I tried to get an almost-full coin view, with some zoomed it photos. I'm pretty sure it's normal wear & tear for a 1942 coin, but it was in a collection book, so I'd still like to ask! Thank you!!!

ASometimes New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 7:23 pm Yay! That's exciting! I'm going to put it into a flip in my collect box. I like to do what my grandfather did & add a guesstimate value. Since I wouldn't know if it's valuable, could yall help me guess?! It could be FV, which is fine, but I'd like to hear from yall too!

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8736 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 7:52 pm That is a very cool looking lam! Varieties and errors worth are very susceptible to many different things, the type, extremity, where it is something new that has just been found and time, telling how rare it might be. I have found that for the most part, lams are not a front runner. If I were throwing a number at it, maybe 10 buck or so, unless you just found someone that really liked it. Just my opinion though. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
