<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3083004, member: 10461&quot;]Yes, I think you need to recheck.&nbsp; No 1941 nickel should have a mintmark above the dome.&nbsp; 1942 coins have it both ways- the regular copper-nickel ones from earlier in that year have the mintmark to the right of the building, while the silver War nickels struck later in the year (and <i>only</i> the 1942-45 War nickels) have it above the dome.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1941-S nickel in the original post is a humble coin without much monetary value, but I like the look of it anyway.&nbsp; These are fun to find in circulation.&nbsp; I can spot &#039;em straight away without even seeing the date, just from the old patina they acquired.&nbsp; Sometimes you can even tell an old nickel by seeing just the edge of it in a stack or roll of them, since the color is usually a bit darker.&nbsp; This is especially true of the War nickels, which are often battleship grey when found in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
