I picked up a 1939-P Reverse of 1940 earlier https://goccf.com/t/146157 so I figured that I would get the other variety Reverse of 1938 .

Not quite as nice as the Rev of 40 (MS65FS), I have heard that the Rev of 38 is harder to get in Full Step quality (PCGS Pop 35 at MS64FS).

The seller also states that is "semi-proof-like" which may explain the "darkness" on the obverse right side.

I can hardly wait!

What does the CCF think of this one?

Thanks for your interest!

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"

That point number 2 for identification seems like it would make the easiest way for me to remember this. Very nice nickel and thanks for sharing.

I am debating on whether or not to complete the 1939 Jefferson nickel set;

I may upgrade to a 1938-D FS (either type) one day.

Okay, that thought was short lived...moving on.
