Wondering if it was at all possible that they minted
any 1942-D silvers or 1942-S non silvers ?

In the ANACS census there are also two 1943p's, twp 1944p's, and a single 1944d struck on cu-ni planchets and two 1946p's struck on wartime silver planchets. There may be other transitional issues that have been graded by pgcs or ngc, but those combonations I've listed are the only transitionals for the warnickels graded by anacs.

This error type is always possible Indian, I'm sure you know that. Just because the treasure hasn't already been found doesn't mean it's not out there! I wouldn't listen to anyone who told me there's not a possibility.

Well, that's good news. I almost was not even
going to ask. I do keep an aye (Pirate lingo:) out for
trans. I'm going to assume that those anacs 43's and 44's
had the large rev. M.M. on them ? If not easy to spot
if not the scale comes into use. That's not correct. You know what I mean. :) The 46 I knew to keep an eye out for.

The 1943 Copper cents and the 1944 steel cents prove this can happen. But how rare are these cents? They would be very few.

i dont have access to the pcgs and ngc censuses but I'm fairly certain that the 1946 transitional is more common than the rest. The 46 has the small mintmark the rest have the large mint mark wartime reverse. There is also a 1942s type one pattern with the normal reverse, though there is only one reported. The s on the reverse was hand carved into the die I believe. Coppernickeldaddy or whezzy had started a thread on that particular piece once I believe.

There are tons of discovered "transitional" varieties.

One can try to make a list and look for everything already discovered.

Or, one could utilize the knowledge of how to differentiate weights AND other diagnostics techniques, and not be distracted by what everyone else thinks.

Please don't be offended (prevous posters)- I'm not referring to anyone.

My only point is that when one learns what to look for, they rarely have to ask about possibilities, because they've already answered their questions.

CCF is an incredible wealth of knowledge that can help you find the information you need to complete your quest!

Indian- sing it proudly when you confirm that you've located what you hope! I'll be the first to
