1939 5C Reverse of 1940, FS MS66+ FS 认证号37973629, PCGS号894003

1939 PCGS MS66+ FS Jefferson Nickel Reverse of 1940 Full Steps Gem". Almost flawless! In 1939, the US Mint struck Jefferson nickels with 2 different reverse designs, known as "Reverse of 1938" and "Reverse of 1940". This coin exhibits the more commonly seen Reverse of 1940, characterized by more deeply engraved steps to Monticello, with additional enhanced vertical lines defining the side edges of the steps. Only a small amount of the 1939 nickels minted in Philadelphia had the scarcer Reverse of 1938. Reduced from $124.95 down to $105 (by "make-an-offer"), plus $3.95 shipping at eBay 8/12/2020. Also received 5% off in "eBay bucks" ($5.25), so net price = $105 +$3.95 - $5.25 = $103.70 total

 The 1939 Reverse of 1940 Nickel was one of the better-made Jefferson Nckels, as more than half of the examples certified by PCGS feature Full Steps.  This is a common date in most Mint State grades, and only becomes scarce in MS67FS.
