Initially I thought cleaned/ polished and someone may have switched coins to sell the set. (Or to just keep the proof in place of a business...
The 1942/1 are Philly and Denver. I don't think there is an S variety.
No US coins in 65 66 67 have mint marks. It's not even a possible error.
In 1971, a very small number of proof nickels, estimated to be around 1,666, were struck withount the S mintmark in error. Similar errors ocurred...
Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. Good luck.
Bad attitude. The fact that the coin is unusually rare means you need to get it authenticated as genuine before selling it. Any rationalizations...
This is from another thread, but if you look at the numbers, the positive difference in the dimes and quarters prob makes up for the 2 cent nickel...

I think if you hold up all of those notes to a mirror they aren't going to look the same.
In the very first photo I sort of pareidoliaed a D. But in the other photos don't see it. Wouldn't make much difference anyway. Into the coin...
Ooh the coin abyss.
The government that produces the nickels doesn't see any value back from making them. It's just an expense. Sure if you think you are saving money...
When you factor in other expenses besides just the metal costs (salaries, machine maintenance, utilities, etc.) It's always going to cost more to...
USA Coin Book (online) lists 30. But they are not always accurate. 1944 P Steel Cent 30 (Good link though for people interested in this 1944...
The one on the left just looks cleaned or polished and not a proof.
Would they test the metal to see if it contained nickel? Before labeling it clad? (IDK that's why I am asking.)
Separate names with a comma.
