    Thought you might like to see some of what I have, first is my 42d/horizontal d jefferson au-58, 45 d/d silver jefferson, 1974D DD kennedy (found in circulation), and finally a 1954S jefferson, it looks similar to the 54s/d in the cherry picker's book but the lower left hand point of the D doesn't show, I am wondering if it is just a later die state, but if I looked at it with nothing to compare it with I would guess a 54S/S as the lower left upper and lower curves of the "S" are reproduced almost exactly, my cherrypicker book is old anyone have a reference for an S/S for that year? It definitely looks like a RPMM to me, not a clog or anything else.

    Absolutely.
    I love seeing what my fellow collectors have in their collections.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Your coins are interesting, and fascinating.

    I'm not certain.
    The S/D variety is pretty plain to see, in "Cherrypickers'" and James Wiles' "RPM Book".

    You may have a 1954-S/S RPM #1.

    That does look more like it, yea the S/D is pretty obvious with the lower part of the D that sticks down, Like I was thinking it looked more like an S/S, but my cherrypickers book didn't have an S/S in it. And with my coin not being uncirculated it is hard to tell how much wear plays into it. Looks like I need to get another book!

    FWIW, my Cherrypickers' has a picture of Jefferson Nickel 1954-S/S Rpm #1 on page #316.

    I have the Fourth Edition, Second Printing - August 2001.

    Ill check, but I think mine is probably 1999 edition, so I am WAY behind!

    ha! even worse, third edition, 1996 printing! No 54 s/s. so, off to amzon.com to get a new copy.

    Enjoy, my friend.

    If you are into Jefferson Nickel die varieties, I would also recommend The Jefferson Nickel RPM Book by James Wiles, Ph.D.
    and The Best Of The Jefferson Nickel Doubled Die Varieties 2nd Edition by John A. Wexler and Brian A. Ribar.
