MArainman Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 03/07/2008 09:25 am I just found a F/VF 1939 nickel in my change from Dunkin Donuts. The only guide I have available is a world coin guide. It differentiates between a Type I and Type II for all mint marks of this year but doesn't explain the difference between the two. I'm gonna go get a box of nickels now. - Mike Edited by MArainman 03/07/2008 09:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

I forget which year, 39 or 40 had which. PCGS price guide places no premium on either. Also, look for the designer's initials, "FS" inscription on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
