Its as Rare or possibly Rarer, than the 1939-Denver!

Finding this 1939-S Jefferson Graded-MS67 By NGC,took me by Surprize! I realized I just found a very scarce Jefferson Reverse that was always considered/expensive issue,right-along with its sibling, the Reverse of 1940.

Not many of these Exist or Certified in this MS67 Grade. Where with Both Grading-Services, PCGS And NGC Together-Less than 25 are in this Grade,as of July 2011.

The Reverse of 38s are Beautiful Nickles, but then finding one

of these have been very elusive also. Between the two Reverses thou-,It is the 1940 MS67 Reverse thats really tough to find showing a clean-quality strike, I will definitely have my work cut-out for me,finding one of those!

My Goal would be to find one with six fullsteps! Mr.Nagengast mentioned in his book that back in the early 1980s an 1939-S Jeff with 6 full-steps blew everyone away Selling for an astounding $2,640 dollars at a coin show on the east coast.

When I read articles like this,it just gives me another reason of collecting in this Series.
