What's A 1942 Cameo Nickel Worth

Just made a 1942-P Type II Nickel at NGC PF66 CAM.

Nice CAM that I'll try to cross.

What is the market for these?

If you're going to try to cross it why didn't you just submit it to PCGS in the first place and save some time and money?

According to the PCGS Price Guide, $3,000.

$4,500 for DCAM.

I have more success going to NGC first, then PCGS. Don't ask me why, but it seems to work better for some tougher cameo coins.

I have others that won't cross, I crack them out and get double and triple upgrades.

Guess it's all a big game. good news is with these type coins, there is enough margin.

Nice score James
I don't have any pricing info on it though.

I have a couple of 1940 nickels I plan to try to get designated as cameo - they are sooooo close.

I don't know what it is worth. I know I'd bid on it. I'm thinking the '42-P is the "easiest" pre-50 Jeff to find in cameo. I have a NGC coin that has some cameo contrast. It doesn't have the designation though, that designation will add a lot to the value.

Carl,

The 42-P Type II probably is the easiest. I also made a 1940 that resides in one of the top sets.

This particular coin is nice. It should easiliy cross.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like photos!

If you get a '39, '41 or '42 T1 with cameo contrast please let me know. It is fine if doesn't have the cameo designation on the label and even better if it doesn't have too much of a cameo premium.
