The 1942-D is not considered a low mintage issue. However, it is considered a key date in the Jefferson Nickel circulation strike series. Possibly do to the war and the lack of coins in circulation during that era, this date and mint mark circulated widely. Thus, coins in uncirculated condition are considered scarce and command a strong premium. As of this writing Uncirculated examples command about $50 each in MS60-MS63 condition. This is one of the most expensive dates in the circulation strike Jefferson Nickel series in Uncirculated grades.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
