Owner Comments:
Name: Mentos (Homemade)
Mintage: 203 Million
Full Step Availability: 5%
Date/mm: Many rolls of 1941(P) nickels were preserved by speculators, though most of these have since been broken up and the better coins certified. This issue is plentiful in Mint State, but its quality is highly variable. Nice ones may be found, but collectors will have to sift through many pieces to find one sharply struck from fresh dies.
Coin Description: This coin is blast white and looks as if it left the mint yesterday. Nearly flawless surfaces, stunning luster, and a hammered strike yielding 5 full steps.
Comments: This coin is one of a handful of HOMEMADE coins in my collection
I purchased this coin raw as part of a Harris Album that had a ton of full step coins. This was the only coin from that album that I submitted from that set that cost me $1 per coin. I then submitted the coin to NGC on 9/4/2020 which brought my total cost to $21.
