So a few years ago I was really into roll hunting (that was all I could afford at the time)and I found this in a roll of nickels. I came across it the other day and I have a few questions. 1) is it Full Steps? 2) which reverse is it? and 3) what would you grade it? Hopefully I put this in the right forum  Thanks all   Edited by baldy

It looks like the reverse of 1940. From your pictures, it is a little hard to tell the luster of the coin. Any chance you can take another picture?

1. It looks to be Full Steps, a close-up photo would help determine it better. 2. Type 2 (Reverse of 1940). 3. MS-65. I think the small rim nicks on the reverse and some light spotting would hold it back from reaching MS-66. I hope I could help a little. And by the way, what a great find!  |

I think this gives a pretty good idea of luster  |

Lovely coin ... wish I had found it in a roll.  MSFS for sure ... but not MS66 or above IMHO. David |

Interesting everyone is calling it full steps but to me it clearly looks like the bottom to steps are merged from column 2 to 3 and there is also merging at the left side under column 1.
