ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 01/13/2013 7:57 pm Took a quick break from sorting buffaloes and went through a roll of 1939 Jeffersons. Score! Like almost all of our coins it's seen action. I think this is the first instance of true doubling I've come across in the hoard. It was the third from last coin in the roll and by then I'd resigned myself to coming up blank. Heart went thump thump thump when I saw it These are just USB scope pics, I'll put it in the pile for the good camera and will post those better pics eventually. The reverse is not in as good shape as the obverse. The cheekbone has very little wear. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 1:50 pm Very nice find! Years back, I remember getting some nice '39s in change--and spending them. I wonder if any were this DDR? Report this Post to the Staff
