Beautiful coins! Thanks for sharing.

 

Thank you. I am looking forward to see some more posted. The war nickel series are notorious for having strong strikes. So quality ones are certainly abundant!

 

The D is a double pic, no?

 

It sure was. good catch, I switched it.

 

I agree, I also hear that most ms samples are abundant with 5 and 5.5 steps. The challenge is finding full six step coins. Have you found any?

 

I personally do not have any. Like you said, a lot of 5 and 5.5. On that note, I buy all my coins raw, and really never got into the step designation. I did get lucky and do have a lot with 5.5 steps though.

 

Very sweet war nickels!

Does "post some war US coinage" mean anything from '42-'45? Or just nickels? If the latter, then apologies and I'll delete this cent.

Lance, any war time coinage is what I was hoping for.
This cent is niiiice. Can we see the reverse. Also, it appears to be slabbed...so what is it? 67?

 

this is the nicest wartime cent i have. not all that nice but the best out of about two rolls i have accumulated. as far as wartime nickels go i have chosen not to photograph any out of fear of breaking the lense of my camera

 

Wood grain war nickel! Beautiful color in hand that doesn't show up well in the pics.

 

So this is probably more of the toning pattern then it is a planchet issue like 'woodie' cents?

 

NGC MS67 6 step

 

beautiful. Can you please turn down the luster though, it's hurting my eyes.

 

Not too many steps on this and luster is turned down.

 

now I've got to pull/check all of mine.

 

Oh man, loving the color. This is a perfect example of why I do not mind not having many full step nickels. I would take this beauty over a full stepper any day. And frankly, in hand, my old eyes can't even see whether it has full steps or not, but they can certainly catch this awesome toning.

 

Then of course, there was the Henning nickel. About 100,000 were released into circulation and another 200K dumped into the Cooper River... about eight miles from where I live. Poor F. LeRoy... forgot the dang "P" and spent three years in jail.

 

wow, never heard that. very interesting
