jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1278 Posts	Posted 03/09/2025 1:43 pm I've been sorting through some early nickels and found what I think is a 1939 with a 1940 nickel reverse. I believe the lines at each end of the steps are/is one of the markers. Nice steps for a 1939. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21684 Posts	Posted 03/09/2025 4:40 pm Another way of telling if the steps are too worn to tell is the S in PLURIBUS. A 1940 has a serif at the top while a 1939 is plain. Report this Post to the Staff
