Owner Comments:


This 1943/2-P Jefferson nickel could eventually become one of the most sought-after nickels. What do we know about this coin for sure? This nickel was created when a Mint worker accidently rehubbed a die dated 1942 with a 1943 hub. All known examples of the 1943/2-P Jefferson nickel were struck from one pair of dies.

This 1943/2-P overdate was first reported in July 1948, but that piece was already quite worn. It was not until 1978 that someone came forth with an uncirculated piece and the overdate was confirmed. Uncirculated pieces are really rare.

All things considered, there are probably fewer than 40,000 possible survivors - IN ALL CONDITIONS!
