<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2675803, member: 19250&quot;]In 1942 there were two types of Jefferson nickels struck .Type 1 the regular alloy and type 2 of silver alloy. </p><p>Now there&#039;s a WDDR-003 of the 1942 P type 1 nickel struck in copper /nickel. In Wexlers book on Jefferson varieties it&#039;s described as below.</p><p>Class II +VI Distorted and distended Hub doubling.</p><p>Nice extra thickness shows on EPU/ US Of A/and five cents.</p><p>Separation lines show on apparent last hubbing</p><p>DIE Markers: *** Large die gouge below hair on back collar. Obv.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Diagonal die scratch above and to right of short window; die dot inside left arch. Type I This is considered to be a very rare variety.</p><p>Now here&#039;s the important part notice the 3 *** above Keep in mind that statement as a die marker. </p><p>As I have a 1942 P type II Jefferson proof nickel with that marker in the exact same location , the exact same shape on a type II 1942 P Jefferson nickel.</p><p>Please see the images below...</p><p>now of course the die markers on the type II reverse are not going to match ,as the reverse is a different reverse than the type I nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that this nickel&nbsp; has the Obv. die of the 1942 P type I and and the rev. of the 1942 P type II.</p><p>I also believe that it&#039;s a DDO and a DDR on the nickel in question, as doubling can be seen on different letters on both the rev. and obv. of this coin . I am open to all thoughts on this one... as the die marker os a tear drop shaped dot clearly seen by the naked eye on the obv. in the same location of the type I proof nickel. Now a Proof 66 NGC price guide has it at $160. What premium would you add for the Variety if this in deed is a mule coin?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]596810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
