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!
