<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1437835, member: 15309&quot;]Mike,</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I could agree with this but I just can&#039;t.&nbsp; I know what Nagengast wrote about the 42-D but perhaps it was his writing that inspired others to go find the 42-D in the gem &amp; premium gem grades.&nbsp; The population reports tell the story; the 42-D has a population of 368/1041 in MS65 and that doesn&#039;t include the full step examples which account for another 300-400 coins.&nbsp; You can get a 42-D in MS66 for about $50.&nbsp; I personally own 4 of these in grades ranging from MS66 to MS67 5FS.&nbsp; Here is my album coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JN1942-DNGCMS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Given the population and Nagengast&#039;s comments, I would think that it would be very difficult indeed to find a raw gem 42-D, but there is nothing stopping anyone from buying a cheap graded gem and cracking it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
