Spence Moderator United States 34453 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 06:58 am @jvan, I agree that it looks pretty normal, with heavy circulation wear. Can you please add the weight of this nickel to this thread? Thx.

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 07/11/2021 10:40 am I had the same reaction for the first 1939 I found. The 1939 nickel might be the oldest coin one still has a reasonable chance of encountering in the wild. Report this Post to the Staff
