nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 09/01/2010 9:01 pm Great looking nickel with a hammered strike ...... check out the full step detail and details above the dome. Alas ..... IMHO .... this coin spent some time sliding around a drawer .... the obverse shows light signs of friction (wear) in Jefferson hair .... I call this a beautiful slider ..... AU-58FS.

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 09/01/2010 10:14 pm Hmm, I don't think that may be wear. I am wondering if it is just a little broken luster or photo issues. With such a great reverse I have a hard time finding the obverse showing wear. I want to grade this in the MS range. Say MS-64 range Report this Post to the Staff
southerngent Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 06:48 am I have to say that from I am looking at it's a MS-65+ with excellent luster and no recognizable bag marks. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/02/2010 12:41 pm So it is looking like I paid a little high for this 1942 D ($40.90), but I may have made up for it, a little, with the 1939 S ($13.01). My big motivation for these, is now I am only needing one more to complete the set, the 1939 D. There are 4 or 5 I will upgrade, but overall I am liking how it is turning out. For me it seems like sometime I end up making a good deal on coins, and sometimes not such a great deal. Either way .. I am really like this 42 D and the 39 S. As for the pictures, I had to take several to get one to come out. All I do is set the coin on my desk, shine a light on them and holding the camera take the picture. Again .. thank you all for your input. Report this Post to the Staff
