THE MOST VALUABLE NICKEL IN EXISTENCE - 'Frith' 1942 Error Nickel

5 жыл бұрын

There are many nickels that are worth a lot of money, but this one probably takes the cake in terms of the most valuable nickel floating around for the valuable Jefferson nickels. This coin is ONE OF A KIND - only one Frith nickel has been found in existence. In essence, the coin is a copper-nickel error with a 1942 obverse on a 1941-S planchet with the Large S mintmark. Look out for this one in your change - if you find this nickel in pocket change worth big money, you could come away with immense riches. The coin is probably worth at least a hundred thousand dollars, and very well could be worth millions as the 1913 V Nickel has a population of 5 while this extremely rare nickel has only one known example. Look out for rare coins and rare nickels in your pocket change - you never know what you’ll get!

Interesting, but one known example in almost 80 years? Given silver hoarding in the 1960's, chances are any of the very few circulated were mistakenly placed in bags/rolls of "junk" constitutional silver. The chance of finding one is literally one in the tens of billions. Maybe if silver spikes high and hard, hoarders (not derogatory) will pull out their bags of coins from the 60's and look at them and find one or two more - but man this is really unlikely. I say if you find any '42 nickle it your lucky day, its worth about a buck in silver content alone.

It may be rarer than the 1913 V nickel but it is not the most valuable in terms of dollar value. One of the 5 1913 V nickels sold for 3.29 million in 2014 making it the most valuable nickel ever purchased by a collector.
