Easily looks FS. Too bad it's from the philly mint. True that - even 66FS from Philly doesn't justify slabbing. This one's about 65, I think. |

1. It looks to be Full Steps, a close-up photo would help determine it better. 2. Type 2 (Reverse of 1940). 3. MS-65. I think the small rim nicks on the reverse and some light spotting would hold it back from reaching MS-66. I hope I could help a little. And by the way, what a great find!  |

Lovely coin ... wish I had found it in a roll.  MSFS for sure ... but not MS66 or above IMHO. David |

Interesting everyone is calling it full steps but to me it clearly looks like the bottom to steps are merged from column 2 to 3 and there is also merging at the left side under column 1.

Send it off to PCGS and see what it comes back at...
My opinion would be "1939 Reverse of '40 MS65FS"

I know it has been mentioned that it wouldn't be be worth it to send it in (the PCGS price guide says $65 for a '39 rev. of '40 MS65 FS), but I would tend to disagree. My logic is simple- I only paid 5 cents for it, so if it comes back worth more than the fee, it is worth it. That way I can keep it or sell it if I want.

Yessir! Probably the only coin I'll ever find at face value that might be worth something  |
