Agent 86 Chief. You didn't miss nugget, you win, I tried calling on my shoe phone but the line is busy.
Starman will get a prize if he comes back here within reasonable time to see whats going on as well, but he has been away from the board since his guess.

Last call for Starman to contact me. Just cause I'm a nice guy. You still win a prize if you get a hold of me today. Only because you are a YN and I'd like to see you stay here on the forum and further your knowledge of numismatics.

Thanks Wheezy the package has arrived safe and sound I haven't started to collect nickel's as yet so these will be a starting point but only after I put all the coins under the microscope to see if there are any variations the Lincoln's will fill some hole in my secondary album  regards Harry |

Hey there could be some oddballs in there. An oddball sent it!  Glad it got there safe and quite fast too! Faster than some US mail I wait on. Your post looks like you're happy, so that makes me happy too! Great ending to a fun story. and here I shall end it with a coin conclusion.  The 1939 Jefferson nickels from P D and S (Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco) can be found with the wavy steps of 1938 on the reverse which are sometimes called the Variety 1 reverse, as well as being found with the reverse of the 1940 Jefferson nickel which has redefined sharp straight steps sometimes referred to as the Variety 2 reverse. I believe it is slightly more difficult to find Variety 1 reverse with full steps while it is still probably the more common reverse. A premium is usually added for the full step Variety 2 with full steps even though they are probably more common to locate. Tip: Search for 1939 full step Variety 1 nickels. Now the Proof 1939 nickel is another story. There are far fewer 1939 Variety 2 reverse proofs and these get quite a bit more in price for same strike and quality grade than Variety 1 proofs. However, I feel that the Variety 2 is still under priced. It is believed that some 1940 nickels may have been produced with the 1938 reverse but I do not know of any. Seems I may have heard or read that one is known to exist? Anyone know?  Better go check mine! |
