The picture is definitely better than the scan. (but still needs work)
To be honest scans don't cut it.
Oh yeah, we're sick puppies.

I agree. I bought a scanner just so I can get the UP close details of a coin. I am trying to get Coins92 to send me payment infor for the lighthouse.....no luck yet though.

Great coins! Your 39 is a 38 reverse sadly. I have the same. In a perfect world, I'll get the 40 reverse someday.

Good news, I am 99% sure that your 1938 proof is one that is the Variety One Extra Serif. Compare the S in TRUST and you can see where it has a serif added at the base. Most other 1938 Proof nickels have a sort of diminishing tail to the S.
I do believe the type 1938 Proof you pictured are much more scarce.
You have some nice coins there, good for you!

gorgeous coins
the 1902 is sweet
and its always fun to see the details on a proof jefferson
most of those details are not quite there on business strikes
I search rolls and love seeing quality proofs to see how the coins should look
