1942 P/P Jefferson Nickel NGC MS-67 5FS on GC

I am sad that I was in 2nd place for what will eventually be a top pop variety.... hopefully one of you all snagged it.... As far as I know zero FS have been graded... will check on that and none in 67

I did not bid on that particular coin, though I did have bids on about ten others. I retired last night-as I am presently twelve time zones ahead of CA time-believing I had a good shot at four or five nice 1930's mercurys and walkers and a nice 1928 buffalo, and upon checking the resulds was smoked on all. Not even close. The market does seem to be getting stronger for nice pieces.

Hmm. You just got me to look at GC again and I saw they have some nice exonumia. May need to spend more time there now.

There are no examples of this coin at PCGS or ATS in Full steps. there are 8 at PCGS in total with MS-66 the highest

I heard about this. Nice grade. Another Nickel guy contacted me about this coin.
I recently traded two raw p/p which both went ms66.
The one in my set is an MS65, and I still have one raw p/p left, lower than 65 I think.
I was a little worried the extra P was more surface reflection on this NGC example.

A very good year ... Though I check these coins closely, I have not found an example of this one yet...I need to double check...Cheers, RickO

Nice coin!

Nice! I can't get'em all especially with Rocco and others on the hunt!

I feel like the spread on this is huge though. So I was wondering about the reflection also, but it looked too correct for me to pass on. I was at $450 and seconds before the end I popped up to 850ish, and whoever was bidder 8 took it down. I emailed @ianrussell and he told me (perhaps he can clarify) that asking for different photos can sometimes be accommodated.

I have a raw one still, probably 62-64?
You know I love to trade.

Now the next question one might ask is.........will it cross?
