heres a pic of this 1941 S nickel. Can’t make out if there’s a D under the S mint mark. Maybe it’s dirt.... have a look. Thanks.
Jodemi, I applaud your continued interest in coin hunting, but I am starting to notice a trend in your posts. Why would you think this is an S/D mintmark? Are you aware of, or have seen one? Or is this just wishful thinking? The US San Francisco Mint produced over 43.4 million 1941 nickels, & from what I find (I'm not a nickel expert) no S over D nickels have been found. 1954 has an S/D, but so far that's it. The odds of you finding a 1941 discovery coin are so remote... It would be very beneficial for you to acquire (if you haven't already) a US Coin Digest (aka, "Red Book"). They produce one each year, but you don't need a new one - any from the last 5 yrs or so should suffice. There is a wealth of information: it will show you mintages, grading, known varieties, (don't rely on the prices, but it will show general differences between grades), etc. Also, you should have a magnifying glass, not higher than 10x. The chances of you actually finding an error, variety, rare specimen in circulation is extremely remote (but not impossible). You being in Canada, I would think you have a more difficult time finding US specimens. Keep up the search - there are still great finds out there, but certainly not as frequent as some think. Good luck!
5c or a little more ... it's not a silver war nickel There's no D over S variety -- https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1941-s-5c/4012
Thanks for your suggestions. I watch videos on all types of coins. I do have a 2010 book on coins. You could be right...it may be wishful thinking or too long looking threw the microscope..lol. Thanks.
The 49 has a D over S. The 54 has an S over D. And the 55 has a D over S. This is a heavily circulated 1941-S. The problem with these old Jeffersons, unless they are semi key dates or silver there's just no market for them in this condition.
