[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 2699820, member: 20201"]A few years back, I was hunting for a 1942 P Ty II proof Jefferson and found this listed not as a proof, but regular wartime silver nickel. Thinking it might be a proof I jumped on it and won it on eBay. [ATTACH=full]607491[/ATTACH] Looking back, I kind of wish it was a regular Jefferson intended for circulation afterall. I think it might grade MS67 6 full steps. The numismedia value for a 1942 P Type II MS67 full step Jefferson nickel far exceeds the value of the proof 67. Either way, I am very happy to have it as one of my favorites in my collection. The general consensus is that it is a proof that I cherry picked. I never did get it slabbed. I'm still not really sure? Here's some pics. That area on the left of the bottom step does make it all the way across but the pics don't show as well as it appears in hand.
