<B>1942-D 5C D Over Horizontal D MS65 PCGS.</B></I> FS-027. One of just two Jefferson nickel varieties from before the alloy change to receive a separate listing in the 2007 <I>Guide Book,</B></I> and deservedly so, given its long-term popularity and elusive nature. Fivaz and Stanton write in the <I>Cherrypicker's Guide to Rare Die Varieties, Fourth Edition - Volume One</B></I> that "This is the rarest of the original 10 major Jefferson varieties in mint state." Many collectors who have sought a high-end example would agree.<BR> The present example is frosty on the obverse and has delicate pastel-blue and champagne patina. The detail is strong, particularly on the steps (which are a few light marks away from a Full Steps designation), though die lapping is evident at Jefferson's shoulder. The all-important overmintmark is plain under magnification, and the portrait is clean, though a minor graze affects the left-central pillar of Monticello. One of just five Gems certified by PCGS, with none finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
