1942 Nickel 0

[Mason254]

Sitting here going through some of my nickels when I ran into this 1942 didnt think much of it but as I continued to stroll through I began to ponder why was something bringing me back to this 42? It must be something however I clearly don't have a clue so if anyone can help me with this I would truly appreciate it thanks!

Looks like a normal well circulated nickel to me. Not sure if that is a ding or a die chip on the reverse but it is nothing significant. What do you see that I don't?

Well after doing a little research looks to me as if it could possibly be a 1942S?I just recently took a couple of more pictures that I am about to post

I believe all the 42 S nickels were war nickels with the mint mark about Monticello. The Redbook isn't showing any 42 S non silver nickels being minted.

That is exactly my point!

That dark shape to the right of Monticello that looks like the letter "S" is just a stain or mark of some sort - not a mint mark.

There is one 1942 S known with the small S to the right of the building. And if I remember correctly it is on a silver planchet.

I do not believe the OP coin has an S mint mark.  The mintmark on the one known coin is sharp and clear.
