These are two 1941 nickels one with an S mint mark and one with a D mint mark. The one with the S is in vf and is worth about $0.30. There are two varieties for this date and mint mark. One has a small mint mark and the other has a larger mint mark. Mine is the small mint mark version but price does not differ between the varieties. The one with the D is in vg-fine and is worth about $0.10-$0.15. Surprisingly, I found both of them on Martha's Vineyard one year apart from each other. These are also the oldest nickels I have found from circulation.
(Note: that is a British Pound in the background.)
There is indeed a difference in price re; S/s.
ReplyDeleteThere were far fewer of the lg. mintmark minted.
I've sold dozens of each on the bay.
I've been a collector since 1965, @ 8 yrs. old.
I currently search through 8000 nickels a week & own all Jefferson
varieties, as well as being responsible for 1/2 dozen
