Silver wartime nickel errors

Does anybody have a S mint Jefferson nickel 43/42 error, or a firth nickel ? Or anybody think they have a 42 reverse with a pre WWll 42 displaying a little s mark next to the Monticello,also displaying the war time S above the Monticello?

    I have no errors, but I do have a 1945-P DDR FS-801 and a 1943/2 P. But the 1939 FS-801 (Double Monticello) is the most interesting of the bunch.
    Yes, I'm a closet Jefferson collector, mainly FS66/67.

    None around here
    :joy:

    Yet.
    3/2 P , yes. No small S.
    You may find plenty of big Esses, and a few smart esses too.

    OP,
    You may want to check your spelling, "Frith Nickel" not Firth. Might get a better response.

    That's a P not an S.

    Sorry, I thought the OP was speaking of an S mint nickel(such as the 42 with a small s becide Monticello and the large S below Monticello barely visible) of which I know of none and the 43/42 P Nickel. My bad. I have also not heard of a 43/42 S Jefferson either.

    BTW, As the OP asked, "has anyone ever seen or held a "Frith Nickel" or a 43/42 S Nickel? Valid question, surely someone can answer. I have only read about the "Frith Nickel" and never about a 43/42 S Nickel.

    OP is (I'm guessing) trolling with ultra-rarities.

    Perhaps there is one on this bench. I’ll just sit down for a bit.
