jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 01:14 am Hello all, picked up three of these sets. I am wondering if this could be a 1938 8/6 or 8/8. If you look at the lower loop of the 8, it looks like a partial loop. Thank you for the help. Edward M. Report this Post to the Staff

jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 01:16 am Sorry for the pics. They show as right orientation when I use the image optimizer, but are wrong when I post. Edward M. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 3:24 pm the Jefferson nickel was first made in 1938 and the contest to design started in January of 1938 so most likely a die gouge Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 3:31 pm There are a lot of 1938 nickels still around at the time there was unusual hoarding due to a rumor that these new nickels were going to be discontinued after 2 years and redesigned again. But that turned out to not be true.. you can check it against these for a DDO / DDR there are a bunch 1938 Doubled Dies http://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/listings/cat/11 Report this Post to the Staff
