Mason254 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sitting here going through some of my nickels when I ran into this 1942 didnt think much of it but as I continued to stroll through I began to ponder why was something bringing me back to this 42? It must be something however I clearly don't have a clue so if anyone can help me with this I would truly appreciate it thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Looks like a normal well circulated nickel to me. Not sure if that is a ding or a die chip on the reverse but it is nothing significant. What do you see that I don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after doing a little research looks to me as if it could possibly be a 1942S?I just recently took a couple of more pictures that I am about to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejas1836 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I believe all the 42 S nickels were war nickels with the mint mark about Monticello. The Redbook isn't showing any 42 S non silver nickels being minted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That dark shape to the right of Monticello that looks like the letter "S" is just a stain or mark of some sort - not a mint mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one 1942 S known with the small S to the right of the building. And if I remember correctly it is on a silver planchet. I do not believe the OP coin has an S mint mark. The mintmark on the one known coin is sharp and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
