Transitional Errors

I was wondering something...

There are 1943 Copper Cents, 1944 Steel Cents, 1965 Silver coinage and such,
but are there any 1942 War Time Nickel errors where they were minted on regular nickel planchets? Or any 1946 War Time Silver errors?

That's why we roll search. BTW I'm sure u already know that the 42 nickel is on both types of planchets, on purpose.

 

well I know the 1942-D is, but I was wondering about the others. Or maybe the other way around..

Also, werent silver errors found in 1965 and 1966? Since that's how long they had the planchets and minted them in silver? Also, there were some 1964 clad errors, right?

thanks

 

1944-P of standard copper nickel composition. Should have been struck in a wartime alloy of copper, silver, and manganese. If you find one please send it to me, i'll pay the postage.

 

Harry:
Check that 1944 P, there are a number of them but they are collecitble fakes.

 

Yes there are a few transitional error 1942 and 1946 errors known. I believe Breen also indicates that there are a few other silver nickel years known on coppernickel planchets and I am not talking about the Henning nickels.

 

read it in the coin expert by Scott Travers (former vice president of the ANA) pg 34

 

There is also a 1942 cent on a zinc coated steel planchet. See my signature.

 

I thought that was a 1944.

but hey, that's even cooler

how many are there?

 

Here's an article about it http://www.coinlink.com/CoinGuide/p...struck-in-white-metal-judd-2081-pollock-2077/ And another reference http://uspatterns.stores.yahoo.net/p2077.html

It's probably tin rather than zinc coated steel.

 

oh ok, so it's a pattern, and not so much an error.

 

I have a 1944 P nickel that weighs 4.8 grams. My other one weighs 5 grams. What do you think?

 

I think it is possibly struck on a very slightly underweight planchet, and that if your scale went to two decimal places you would most likely find that its weight is within tolerance. (Minimum tolerance weight is 4.81 grams. On a one decimal point scale anything less than 4.85 would round down to 4.8, anything greater than 4.795 would round up to 4.8) Coins that are just slightly out of tolerance aren't that unusual, you would have to get done to 4.4 to 4.5 grams on a relatively unworn coin before you started seeing an value of significance.

It would be much better if you create a new thread.. Many of those members are no longer on CoinTalk.

And remember.. It's Nickel.. Not nickle
