Description

1942-D D Over Horizontal D Nickel, MS66
Sole Finest FS-501 Example at NGC

1942-D 5C D Over Horizontal D, FS-501, MS66 NGC. The Guide Book lists a number of important Jefferson nickel varieties that are eagerly sought after among series enthusiasts, including the 1939 Doubled MONTICELLO FIVE CENTS, 1943-P 3 Over 2, 1943-P Doubled Eye, 1945-P Doubled Eye, and 1949-D D Over S. None of them, however, challenge the 1942-D Over Horizontal D in terms of desirability or scarcity. The Cherrypickers' Guide adds: "This is the rarest of the major Jefferson nickel varieties in Mint State ... ." As the name suggests, this variety is the result of the D mintmark initially punched horizontally into the die, later "corrected" by repunching it vertically.

Variegated shades of orange, lilac, rose, and powder-blue provide this Premium Gem Jefferson nickel with outstanding eye appeal. The devices, including the overpunched mintmark, are well-detailed. Minor indistinctness occurs over the lower two steps. Faint marks are scattered over the upper portion of Jefferson's portrait and Monticello. This is the sole finest D Over Horizontal D example with or without Full Steps at NGC (11/15).
