Check out this Jefferson Nickel I found

So, my grandma keeps a cup of change in her car that she throws her spare change into every once in a while.
As I was down in Phoenix, I saw that she added to it, so I checked it out.

I was looking through (for cents) I came across this, and almost didnt pay attention to the date because of the condition it was in (it still has a lot of original luster, although the pictures dont show it)



Here we are, welcome to 1940 :

Sweet find! :thumb:

You might want to look a little closer at the date. :kewl: Looks to me like there may be a little machine doubling going down and something else in between the four and zero.

Ribbit

 

I would definately say that the 15 times face applies.

 

Very nice! I hope you asked your grandma if you could go through her change though.

 

Nice, In great shape.

 

dont worry I did.

This replaced my previous 1940-P which was in pretty bad shape

 

Nice find!

 

I can see the luster! Nice

Last night I got a 1945 P Nickel in my taco change.

 

Congrats - Nice looking nickel!!! I think that one would have been a real beauty when it was first struck - looks like the surfaces might have been close to mirrored at one time. It would replace my 40P from circulation as well.

 

Mag-nificent! :thumb:

 

yeah, I was surprised by the amount of luster on it.
My other 40P I found this summer, and it had some dirt and stuff on it, and was much more worn down (probably F-15 or so) - so this is quite the upgrade, and for FREE too

:goofer:

 

Great find! It pays to keep your eyes open, for sure.
