Jefferson nickel variety (1943/2 and 1945 DDO) questions.

Over the years I have been lucky and stumbled into acquiring an uncirculated (maybe a 63-64 with possible FS) 1943/2 silver war nickel, a circulated (VF-EF) 1945 DDO silver war nickel and an uncirculated (maybe a 63-64, non FS) silver war nickel.

The 1943/2 was part of a bulk purchase. The circulated 1945 DDO was sitting for years in a stash of circulated war nickels I collected as a kid from pocket change and the uncirculated 1945 DDO was in a Whitman slide type album of MS 1938-1961 Jeffersons I bought from a local B&M on the cheap a couple of years ago.

What would Jefferson variety collectors consider to be a fair wholesale value and a fair retail value for these coins? Thanks, SanctionII.

    there are 3 varieties of the 45ddr and prices are different... I picked up a 43/2 ( raw ) at a show about 6 months ago for 425.00 seller graded it 64 came back from PCGS 65... the 45ddr seem to be dropping and the 43/2 seem to be getting stronger

    these go fairly reguliar on TT so you can check the prices realized there

    The overdate is a very underapprecuiated collector coin in unc. While mintage
    was fairly high for these the overdate wasn't reported until the '60's so uncs are
    quite tough.

    I would check Teletrade, eBay and Heritage archives. BTW, the 1945-P DDR nickel variety that is most valuable is the FS-030. The FS-030.3 and 030.5 are much more common and show less of the doubling, therefore they aren't worth anywhere near what the FS-030 is.
