THE AMAZING HISTORY BEHIND THIS "1942-D JEFFERSON DENVER COIN!"
In uncirculated condition, the 1939-D, 1939-S, and 1942-D are far rarer
than the 1950-D and command higher prices than any other coins in this
Jefferson Series!
---------------------------------------------------
1942 was not a good year for the U.S., it looked like the Japanese would soon
be on the westcoast.Too bad this nickel could not talk,for it must have one hellva'
story to tell. The Only place the value can go is UP!.
The 1942-D nickel is not a silver nickel. That year the Denver mint only
struck the type that was .750 copper and .250 nickel. Due to the change
over to the war time silver alloy that year the Denver mint only stuck
13,938,000 nickels in 1942.

From (The Jefferson Nickel Analyst/by Bernard Nagengast)
The 1942-D Jefferson has been long recognized as one of the "Keys"
in this series,despite its Relatively high mintage.If this Jeff/IMO/is
the "Killer-Date", (Varities not-included)in this Series,it would be this
1942-D Nickel."Under-appreciated for Decades"/an'fewer than 14 MILLION pieces
were struck. An Most Importantly, this issue was not spared the ravages
of circulation to any signficant degree...Since only a (FEW-ORIGINAL-ROLLS) were
with-held from circulation, the price for any High-Grade1942-D Jeff/will be Steep
in Price, compared to other dates in this series.
Finding one "Uncirculated" they are quite rare! Most of these coins in
this issue/date were circulated, where finding these in BU condition
is scarce.
