1942-D Over Horizontal D Nickel, MS64
FS-501

1942-D/D 5C D Over Horizontal D MS64 PCGS. FS-501. According to the Cherrypickers' Guide, the 1942-D D over Horizontal D "is the rarest of the major Jefferson nickel varieties in Mint State." As with the 1942/1 and 1942/1-D dimes and the 1943/2-P nickel, the error was likely caused by mint worker inexperience during wartime. A lustrous near-Gem with light silver-gray and almond-gold toning. Marks are confined to a slender line on the dome of Monticello. Population: 6 in 64 (1 in 64+), 7 finer (4/13).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 4015, Greysheet# 3236)

Weight: 5.00 grams

Metal: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel, 9% Manganese
