Popular Post Sandon Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 It has been a while since I had an opportunity to photograph more of the coins from my Whitman bookshelf album of Jefferson nickels from 1938 to 1964. The last coins I had posted were issues of 1942. I'm going to skip ahead for now to a coin of little monetary value but of some sentimental value. I received this 1957-D nickel in change from a cashier at my high school cafeteria in or about 1976. The coin is absolutely mint state despite having been issued nearly twenty years before I so received it. It was struck from worn dies, as indicated by the "orange peel" effect in some areas and the die crack at the top of Jefferson's head yet was strongly struck with most of the steps visible.

In that case we will depart from tradition and designate it, over any objections, as a 1957-D AU-59 MS (most steps). I am afraid designating it an MS (Mint State) after finding it in circulation by your own admission, would set a dangerous precedent. 🤔 Edited February 14 by Henri Charriere Correct misspelling.

Popular Post J P M Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 I have been looking for a nice 1962 D it may not look like it but trying to find a MS 66 is tough and it is not much easier to find a good MS65. This is a real nice gold toned one. rrantique, Lem E and The Neophyte Numismatist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there! What would NGC say? Probably wear and tear noted on the hair aggravated by a washed-out look that is suggestive of exposure to diluted bleach. But then, what do I know?

Popular Post Greenstang Posted February 2 Popular Post Share Posted February 2 Two types of 1942 Canadian Nickels The first half of 1942 produced the regular 100% nickel 5 cent coins. Part way through in order to preserve nickel for the war effort, they switched to Tombac (a form of brass). The twelve sides was to avoid confusion with copper cents. Tombac 5 cent coins were produced in 1942 and 1943. Rod D., Redline68, Fenntucky Mike and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for asking, it is what I call a true MS 66, Some are not. As you may well know. What most people do not know is there are not many MS 68,69 and 70 for nickels. That is why LEM's set is so nice with its higher MS coins. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard from him. I miss him, too. And I was one of the bad ones. One day I posted a coin, a 2-oz. 1804 siver dollar I lovingly referred to as an authorized counterfeit. Time passed. He saw it and left, not a Like, but a glowing comment. I sent it to him. I do hope all is okay in his neck of the woods. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
