Out with the Old; 1938-D PCGS MS66   In with the New; I just picked this Jefferson up and thought that I would share. Thanks for your interest!   1939 was one of the transition years where there were a couple varieties available; 1939 reverse of 1938 1939 reverse of 1940 Just in case that you don't know or can see the diference here is an image from PCGS Coinfacts; Mainly the vertical line providing the "ends" of the steps.

Both of those coins are lookers.
I had heard of the varieties before but as you have shown a good side by side picture for comparison makes it a lot easier.

Nice! But I'm lost. Why does it say 1940 reverse when the coin is a 1939?

In the intial thread, last image, there is a side by side picture of the "38" and "40" reverse. The 38 and 40 reverse dies were used in the production of 1939 Jefferson nickels. Here is a summarization of a nice article about the differences; http://gotnickels.com/jefferson-nic...verse-of-40/"1.Wavy Steps for 1938 vs Well Defined Steps for 1940
2.A vertical indentation to start & end the steps on the Reverse of 1940
3.The Reverse of 1940 has a thicker top step"Edited by oih82w8
