I found a 1941 war nickel that the U in "god we trust is not a fully extended u..has anyone every seen this.or knows something bout it
Your image is too small. Try cropping out all of the unnecessary background and resizing the image before using the "Full Image" option to post it. By the way, "War Nickels" are 35% silver with a large mintmark (P, D or S) above the dome of Monticello and were issued 1942-1945. Chris
Im sorry i didnt mean war nickel..im all new and learning..my fault.. but i did crop a better picture...n i also have quite a few nickels from 1939 and up...one 1942 qnd 1945 that have never been circulated...any advice?
A little. I bought an almost complete collection of Jefferson Nickels from '38 thru '61 recently, lacking only a '44S, '50D and '51S for $20.50, which is an average of 33¢ per coin. IMO only the '42P will require replacing since it is the only one below average for a circulated coin of its age. I also bought a half roll of lightly mixed AU and higher graded Nickels for $12.50. It is predominately '46 and '56 coins, but a few others from the period in between. That's an average of 62.5¢ per coin and I perceived that to be an acceptable purchase, given their condition.
I have alot of nickels...i appreciate the time u have taken out to give me some advice..i also may have some that u are lacking may be willing to help u out since u have been kind enough to help me...thank u .....the 46 has a slight yellow tint to it..not sure what that means?
Please be careful not to violate the CT rules concerning Buy/Sell/Trade transactions. You may want to review them in the B/S/T forums. Chris
Was not trying to sell, buy or trade, sorry it sounded like that..i was just going to give it away. Because he was kind enough for advice..i have collected coins but now finally able to research them..so i'm behind in alot of info.. was just trying to be polite not trying to break any rules..
I was thinking on the right side it was not fully extended.. the U seemed shorter then most.. when u say it took a hit.. does that mean someone damaged it or when it was being made it was an error.? N thank you for your opinion
I don't think I break the rules, Chris, but I am flagrant in such threads as this this one to offer to GIVE the poster a coin if I have an extra. All he/she needs to do is contact me. In a roundabout way, I was letting others know that I have a rather large number of beautiful '46 and '56 Jeffersons, but I had no interest in creating a special thread where I was going to sell or trade them. I'm too old and physically impaired to go to the USPS to mail them.
My comment wasn't directed toward you. It was intended for Lisa who has only been here a few days, and I was merely cautioning her to let her know that we do have rules for Trades just as we do for buying and selling. Have a great day! Chris
