1942-D/Hor D Jefferson Nickel Population Jump!

BigDowgie

Happy Holidays!

Are any of you in the know on all these new 1942-D/HorD's that hit the Pops? Someone must have hit a mother-load roll? I met the guy who made one of the MS65s, but nothing on the other 5 in MS64 and MS65. The full step Pops are below:

10/25/2014 = MS62-3, MS63-3, MS64-4 and MS65-1
12/25/2014 = MS62-3, MS63-3, MS64-7 and MS65-4

BD, Bummed that it wasn't me. Maybe a partial roll found deep in a safe? Who knows, but congrats to the owner/s. That's quite a pop jump for one year on this hard to find variety.
Maybe someone will fess up and share the story. Shag

Non FS pieces (liners) are also making FS these days I belIeve. Wondercoin.

BigDowgie

Mitch, yes some "liners" (you are too nice....I'd say garbage) are making full step designation. Granted, I would love to have one in my set if I Cherry Picked it! I think there is one of the new MS65FS "liners" listed with David Lawrence right now. We'll see what they sell for and what PCGS does with the Prices.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I'll be able to afford one someday. something better than my AU58, but I doubt it.

An interesting aspect of this full step Pop jump is that the non-FS uncirculated Pops stayed at 21. What are the chances that only a stash of full steppers was discovered without any non-FS'ers? My thought is there are some non-FS examples waiting to be graded.

Leo, we may be able to afford one someday, that is if we do not Cherry one sooner!

Mike, I helped you cherry one not long ago, an AU58 that upgraded to a MS63FS. I thought it was a nice coin but there must have been something wrong with it that caused you to sell it. Same thing about the 1954-S you sold years ago and now sits in a MS67FS holder. I have recently seen your old 1954-S. It's displayed on Coin Facts. The details around the ear are flat and missing and there's the heavy mark on the cheek. You called me up one day and asked if I knew anyone who might be interested in buying it. The details are murky but I wasn't interested enough to buy it myself. I likely didn't have the money was part of it. Remember who I suggested you to sell it to and he ended up selling his set shortly thereafter? Remember what I said? So much for collecting coins! lol But anyway, I'm very happy with my coin. The only detail missing is a quarter of a step that leaves it shy of 5 complete steps. Someday, it will turn out to be a great cherry pick because it has it all, well, for the exception of that one little extension of an incused line on the 5th step.
And you were right about my old 1953-S that it's the best coin to own. It too can be seen in Coin Facts along with a MS65FS and MS66FS, which have weak strikes. I'm still sitting on a few robusting top quality pieces that are the best to own and so are you.

Leo,

Yes, we have handled quite a few super nice Jeffies! Like your 1953-S, sometimes there are other needs. Let's keep an eye out for replacements! PCGS better be adjusting prices on these 1942-D/Hor Ds!

Catch you soon
