jaw22w New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:56 pm * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * I have been trying to identify 1939 Jefferson nickels for reverse of 1938 or reverse of 1940. I was having trouble determining which was which. I was trying to determine which by the lines in Monticello's steps. I couldn't definitely tell for sure. I started looking around and ran across this: "on the obverse of the '40 reverse coin the S for "In God We Trust" has a serif top and bottom. !938 obverse does not. Anybody else heard of this? Any truth to this? Report this Post to the Staff

Any truth to this? To me, this is the easiest way to differentiate the two reverses. The difference in '38 and '40 font is fairly apparent.
