oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7842 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 10:06 am I picked up a 1939-P Reverse of 1940 earlier https://goccf.com/t/146157 so I figured that I would get the other variety Reverse of 1938 . Not quite as nice as the Rev of 40 (MS65FS), I have heard that the Rev of 38 is harder to get in Full Step quality (PCGS Pop 35 at MS64FS). The seller also states that is "semi-proof-like" which may explain the "darkness" on the obverse right side. I can hardly wait! What does the CCF think of this one? Thanks for your interest!

Very nice nickel and thanks for sharing. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7842 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 7:30 pm I am debating on whether or not to complete the 1939 Jefferson nickel set; I may upgrade to a 1938-D FS (either type) one day. Okay, that thought was short lived...moving on. Edited by oih82w8 04/05/2013 11:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
