Please PM if you've got a '43-P

If someone has the right coin and isn't interested in a trade, I might be willing to purchase it outright and just sell off my current coin. I'd prefer to trade, however. Just PM me if you've got what I'm looking for and we can make some sort of deal. I'd rather deal with someone here with decent pics than play the crapshoot that is eBay.

Coin for coin, do you think that's a fair trade? The 43-P is not as easy as locating a 43-D. The quality of the 43-D needs to be of much better quality than what you might receive in a 43-P. I note this since I have several 43-D nickels and very few 43-P's. And your 43-D has something on the cheek that would keep you from a decent 43-P.

Just my opinion.

As for it being a fair trade, yes, I think it's about right. You may not have a lot of 43-Ps in your collection, but I'm not certain what that has to do with me. The prices are roughly comparable - in fact, according to the five previous sales I've located at Heritage, the average price of the P-mint coins ($18.20) is less than the average of the D-mint coins ($19.00). Even so, I'm still offering to throw in a little money to make it worth my trading partner's time.

As for whatever it is you're seeing on the cheek, I think that this coin is just fine for the grade. It isn't a 66; it's a nice MS65FS. I don't see any problems with the cheek, especially when you consider the coin is blown up a gazillion times normal size. I'm looking for a somewhat different surface profile on the coin I want to trade for because I'm trying to match a 1943-P date/mint set I'm putting together. I've seen quite a number of 43-P MS65FS coins for sale which I've passed on because I'm looking for that particular white coin, not one with toning. There are plenty of coins out there - I'm just looking to find a particular look.

MAN, sweet coin! That's almost enough to make me come over to the nickels, lol.

Best of luck with your trade!
