    Also a 1942P silver nickel with a funny looking anomaly on the year. What do you all think?

    not a clash.

    and are you referring to the 'bar' inside the bottom of the 2?

    the 1943 is struck on a laminated planchet , these 40% silver war nickels were bad to have laminated planchets because of the metal mixture. I'm not sure what is in the date on the 1942 coin but it looks like it may be a small die break or gouge

    In the 4th photo, between B and E of LIBERTY, there is a very obvious clash where the horizontal portion of a letter shows up. This is exactly where the R of AMERICA lines up on the opposite side. Also clashed above NT of CENTS, M of MONTICELLO, and N of UNITED.

    On the 1942 yes I referred to the additional metal above the bottom of the 2, as well as the apparent doubling of the bottoms of the 1 and 4.

    In post #4 Treasurehunt said not a clash and I agree with him. It is evident that your 43 coin does have some anomalys but I'm not sure if it is from the lamination or what it is. The reason I don't think it is from a clashed die is for the fact that coin dies are somewhat cone shaped with the highest peak being in the center of them. This causes the center section of the dies to be the first part to clash together during a clash. On all clashed die coins I have found the clash marks tend to be stronger going towards the center of the coins. I'm thinking that if someone found a nickel from clashed dies that was strong enough to have clash marks on the edge of the coin that it would be major clashed closer towards the center part like say at the top of the building.

    maybe the die that struck your coin had a lot of wear and tear on it from overuse.

    I might have to settle for 'unknown' for now. :(

    Lamination was confirmed by Mr. Diamond. :) No confirmation for the clash though. Oh well, I'm happy enough.
