    Nice proof!!! Not only, the only WN proof, but it gives this years "proof set" the distinction of being a 6 coin set. I will have this set one day, oh yes, I will have one.

    I do have a NGC slabbed 1942 63RD cent, and its beautiful. It does have a very tiny hit mark on the obverse object, but it is very hard to see at a glance, thus a good reason for the 63. Funny though, a couple years ago I purchased this coin for about 37 bucks, which I think is a great price for a coin that there were only 32.6k produced.

    Thanks for sharing the pic.

    I also just purchased his cousin, the proof 42 pre-war nickel nickel. I am thinking about assembling the rest in the proof set, but for now, the nickels will do just fine.

    I forgot about my proof war nickel. One of only 12 CAMEO proofs in existence.

    Good luck to you with your acquisitions. I browse teletrade often and keep tabs on trading of these on other specific coins. I only lack "The Cash" to have them. I know in time, in time.



    Beautiful! Simply beautiful.

    All these wonderful "high grade" nickels. I'm dying with envy.

    Keep on Collecting!!!

    Nice Ones

    I see the Monticello doubling on the 45DDR, but I can't see any on the 43DDO.

    How about clue me in on what I need to look at? Please.

    Thanks,

    Nice Toner

    I really like your NT nickel. Yours has a very natural and attractive pattern. It should get more intense and colorful as years go by. Protect this one well.

    Thanks for sharing!

    This is also known as the Double Eye Doubled Die. It is the coin in my avatar as well.

    I've seen a MS DD eye before and it was slight doubling, but it could be seen. I can't see it on yours, but I'm sure its there. Pictures are OK, but nothing betters in hand for seeing a coin for what it really is.

    Again thanks for sharing your collection. It is very impressive.
