ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 6:13 pm Nice discovery. A few days ago I picked up some customer wrapped nickel rolls and found a '39 in one. Over several decades I'd estimate I've found close to 20 of them. Report this Post to the Staff

DiscoLover82 Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 3:56 pm Are 1939 nickels considered to be worth any premium over face value? I always thought they were on account of their impressive age, but an employee at my local coin store told me only the silver ones are. Report this Post to the Staff
CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 3:57 pm The Denver and San Francisco minted ones do have a slight premium IIRC, as they are key dates (fewer than 10 million minted of each). Edited by CalzoneManiac 03/06/2023 4:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Erscolo Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 5:10 pm Fifty years ago a 1939 Jefferson nickel was very comonplace, today not so much. My first Whitman Album was the Jefferson nickel, and in the early 1970s I was able to fill almost all the holes from circulation, including a 1950-D and most of the wartime silver nickels.
