Here is a Rare Beauty!
This would be wonderful addition to a Jefferson nickle collection. Graded NGC MS66-FS. The1942 nickel
with the version Type1- No P mint mark. There Is very few at this grade level with full-steps which pushes
this coins value up tremendously! This 1942' Jefferson has alot of Luster to it, and alot have their irregular
surfaces from worn dyes. Five and Six Full-Steps exist, but finding one with nice quality surfaces and Eye-
Appeal will be difficult.
Also being called the Copper-Nickel of 42' ,at one time used to be reasonably priced, that is until collectors
started studing it more closely finding these a low pop-rarity. So yes the price is indeed warranted since this
issue is "Rarer" than the 1941 and its probably just as rare than the 1942- P silver alloy coin. Finding these
in Gem-Quality with smooth fields is indeed a challenge.
