Jefferson Nickels
1942-D 5C D Over Horizontal D, FS-501, MS65 Full Steps PCGS. CAC. This popular Guide Book variety is one of the chief challenges for the Registry Set collector assembling a Major Varieties collection. PCGS has attributed few Uncirculated examples, and those grading Gem or finer are decidedly rare. The Cherrypickers' reference calls this issue "the rarest of the major Jefferson nickel varieties in Mint State."
This Gem representative displays frosty, golden-toned mint luster that appears finer than MS65 quality to the naked eye. A loupe reveals a few trivial ticks that limit the numeric designation. The strike is sharp, and the overmintmark feature is clear under magnification. This piece is the only Full Steps FS-501 example with a CAC green label endorsement. Population: 6 in 65 Full Steps (1 in 65+), 3 finer (11/16).
