Description
1942 Type One Nickel, Good 6
On a Silver Alloy Planchet
Extremely Rare Transitional Error
1942 5C Type One -- Struck on a Silver Alloy Planchet -- Good 6
PCGS Secure. 4.7 gm. 1943-dated cents struck on copper
planchets bring spectacular prices, but similar wartime wrong alloy
transitional errors on Jefferson nickels are significantly rarer.
Our online auction archives reveal only two examples, both 1944-P
nickels struck on copper-nickel planchets (lot 5610 in our August
2001 Signature, and lot 10306 in our June 2004 Signature). The
present lot is struck from sans-mintmark Type One dies, yet is
struck in the silver alloy composition associated with the Type Two
design bearing a large P mintmark above Monticello. This lightly
marked cream-gray example displays wear on the motifs but the
legends are fully readable and show only slight blending with the
rim. Included with the lot is a two-page typed authentication
letter, dated May 20, 1965, and signed in ink by Walter Breen, and
a clipping of a June 16, 1965 Coin World article written by Breen
that reported his determination.(Registry values: N1) (NGC ID# 22TL, PCGS# 4013)Weight: 5.00 grams
Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel
