    Hello again...just sorting through my purchases this week, and I remembered I was going to ask for some information on this coin. I believe it is a 1942 D DDR-001 (pretty confident.) This coin also has an interesting Lamination Error on the reverse on the F of OF.

    I'm curious if anyone has any sort of price/rarity info, as this coin is not listed in my "Best of the Jefferson Nickel Doubled Dies" book. It's not listed as part of NGC or PCGS' Variety sections. Looks like TWO have been graded at ANACS (MS65 5FS and MS66 5FS.) Jefferson Nickels are not quite as easy to attribute online, because John Wexler leaves them to Brian Ribar, whose website is more geared towards selling than providing information (not judging, but that's just how it's set up.)

    I'm also curious what you think the grade of this coin should be, and if the lamination error should detract, add, or have no effect on the value of this coin.

    Thanks!
