Lem E reacted to VKurtB in Jefferson nickel steps Rev of 38 or 40. What do you see?
Looks like a Reverse of 1938 to me. I have one in MS66FS. (PCGS) Bernie Nagengast estimated the Denvers were about equal of each.

It is tough to say for sure where I need to look is banged up and worn but I can still see the line on the left and the one on the right is showing enough for me to say it is a 40 reverse . I went and looked at mine and even though It is banged up I can still see the steps better than this one I am going to say it is a 38 reverse labeled as a 40 reverse.

I assume thats an MS graded nickel, so to me the less well defined steps, except on the far right side which is a little more defined, would indicate a 1939-S 5C Rev 38.
[P.S. I also see a slight curve in the steps drawing a box around that on LemE's nickel which is another indicator for a Rev 38, unless that is just an optical delusion.]

Lem E reacted to Sandon in Jefferson nickel steps Rev of 38 or 40. What do you see?
Although the strike makes this one a bit confusing, the steps appear to be lightly engraved and wavy, meaning that this is a Reverse of 1938 (Variety 1). (According to the NGC Coin Explorer, nearly two-thirds of 1939-S nickels have the Reverse of '38, while most of the 1939 and 1939-D issues have the Reverse of '40.) 1939 S REV OF 38 5C MS | Coin Explorer | NGC (ngccoin.com).
What does the NGC holder that contains the coin say its variety is?

Lem E reacted to Greenstang in Jefferson nickel steps Rev of 38 or 40. What do you see?
Not much to go by but I would say that is a Variety 2.
I remember reading on another site that there were 25% of Variety 1 and 75% of Variety 2 minted in 1939

38 rev is what I see. But correct me if I'm wrong, shouldn't that only be on the 39-P?

That's what I'm doing. A quick, proper dip could conserve them but getting them out of the packaging will distroy the packaging.

Lem E got a reaction from rrantique in Post your 5 cent pieces.
I picked up this 47 D/D piece recently. This is the only RPM that NGC recognizes listed as VP-001. CONECA lists this as RPM-001. You can see the first impression peeking out of the bottom of the second punch with the second being punched slightly counterclockwise. According to Variety Vista there are 2 more RPMs listed for the Denver pieces from 1947.
According to the various variety sites this is also listed as a DDR. I am certainly no variety expert by any means and I have really looked this coin over. I did find the one die marker they show which is this very small die gouge. The rest of it I just don’t see. Sometimes I wonder how they come up with some of these. Guess that’s why I’m not much on this doubled die stuff.
Here are a few links.

Congratulations to you for being that 700th post! I need to get some more coins to Joe for imaging.

Congratulations on your 700th post! There are an awful lot of extraordinary examples posted here which cannot be easily accessed elsewhere. And thanks to @Buffalo Head for the fine assist! Great thread!

Yes it is graded MS-66 with no FS designation.

Lem E reacted to Sandon in Post your 5 cent pieces.
I purchased this 1857-O Liberty Seated half dime that PCGS graded MS 66 (and to which CAC awarded a green sticker) at a local coin show last month. The dealer gave me a substantial discount from most list prices, but it was still, for me, a sizeable purchase. My own photos of it didn't do it justice, and I finally figured out how to resize the PCGS image so that I could post it here.

Nice pick up J.P. I hope you can now rest easy with this being rectified. 😃

Lem E reacted to J P M in I had to have it
Well the nicer looking replacement coin for my mislabeled 1964 D came in today and I am happy again . Nickels can be deceiving when grading but to not have a D mint mark on a labeled 1964 D was a little bothersome.
I will keep the old one. I do like the Omaha Bank Hoard Label on the 1964 P

All 3 mints used both reverses on the 39 coins.
