Got these 4 nickels in the last week. The 1939 with the reverse steps of 1938 is found on only 10% of the 1939 Philadelphia minted coins, the rest have the reverse steps of 1940. I think its a fair example. The 1952 S having more than 1 or 2 full steps is fairly scarce, this one will be getting a closer look when I get the chance. Full step 1952 S nickels are kind of rare and one of the toughest top 10 dates and mintmarks Jefferson's to find in FS BU quality.

It graded at a 64 due to contact marks near the left hand on the obverse.

You're right, it is a Type 2 1886 Indian, I hadn't noticed... too bad it's in such crappy condition. But still, it's my first IHC pulled from a bank roll, so I can't be upset.

The lighting of my first image hid the contact marks.
