a set of nice 1943/42 Jefferson nickesl

[nulte]

A couple nice 1943/42 war nickels to start your monday off. I found 3 of them out of 1000+ war nickels i had accumulated over the years, and these are the first ive found in 40 years+ of collecting! Not too much chance seeing P minted coins out in the desert sw, not almost 80 year old ones like these 2, at any rate, IM HAPPY with the new acquisitions to the collection

THANK YOU. Its been fun, hunting through them, LOTS of lamination and or die break issues, ive noticed in the war nickels that ive found. LOTS of cool lookng ones, ive got a $ marked die cracked one that is awesome, ill post a picture of it if i happen across it. OR the other 43/42 ive got around here. I paid scrap for them, or close to it thru a bullion dealer(probably shouldnt have said anything, now they will dry up, lol!) that does volume, not individual pieces. ive gotten some nice mercury and barber dimes that way too, good way to get coins to cherry pick thru, they get so much that theres just no way they can look at them closely enough and you can find coins like these if you get lucky too. I thought they were pretty nice, and i could hardly believe it when i was done and i had 3, out of over1000 different, not just 1943 nickels, but war nickels.as a whole. Thanks again for acknowledgement on the coins, it feels good to get one every once and again!
