w1ksz Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 03/19/2018 2:28 pm I have been collecting 1940 US coins for a bit now and just recently bought a 1939 Nickel with a 1940 Reverse. My question is ... how does one differentiate a 1939 Reverse from a 1940 Reverse ? What differences are there ? I don't have a 1939 Nickel to compare it to. I do have the "Mega Red" Coin Book, but staring at each coins reverse nothing leaps out at me. Thanks for the education, Richard S. Report this Post to the Staff

Some 39's have the rev. of a 38 and the others have the rev. of the 1940. Some one will be along with pics soon. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/19/2018 6:27 pm In the case of the 1939 D, the 40 reverse is still not considered common. Report this Post to the Staff
