<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 3112710, member: 88212&quot;]In my unbiased opinion there are two possibilities. Option One - You have an original off-metal strike. You can get a ball park estimate of the generic value from the listings in back of the Red Book. Look in the index for error coins. They provide a chart with values. What you describe if real would be an &quot;off-metal strike&quot;. Every time I recommend CONECA for error attribution other people argue with me,. To my mind the error specialists would have a better grasp on what you have. You do what you please.&nbsp; There were people making counterfeit nickels for money use in the period 1939 to 1946. The most prolific of those was a man named HENNING. 1942-S is not a known HENNING BUT if it is determined that this is a previously unknown HENNING you have something. The nice thing about him is that all of his productions had one feature in common. Read up on them and look for that feature on your nickel. Hope this helps you. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
