Look, there are very few of these coins (around 400?), ALL in proof sets. OK maybe one time, someone broke the set open and spent the coins. But...
66 would be good. I think the combination of the key date, reverse of 40 and high grade makes that one a big winner.
Nickels are difficult to grade. This one has toning which may be hiding something in these photos. At least MS 65. I don't have it in hand but 66...
I can't tell. I do see something. The lettering in AMERICA is impressive. Perhaps just a regular photo of the reverse, to determine if it is...
The 39-D reverse of 40 has to be a rare bird. After the 50-D the 39-D is the lowest minted in the series. Reverse of 40 has to be much much...
Lincoln Cent Resource doesn't list one, but Wexler's does. Although he doesn't show the E and your E (in AMERICA) seems to be showing something....
I can't really tell as your photo is not full size, nor oriented correctly and has verdigris. [ATTACH]
It's possible. It's still legal tender. The bank took it, and if they had to turn it in to get redeemed, or, since it is worth more than face...

The 41-D looks like FS. The 41 and 42-D are close but the 41-D looks like a FS monster.
.50-.80 cents.
1933 is a good date.
The answer was an irrational number.
After they do the test, wouldn't they repair the die before using it?
The dime is smaller than a cent. If it was a silver dime planchet it would weigh 2.5g. The steel cents weigh 2.7g. If it was a dime planchet,...
20,000 but high survival rate. [ATTACH]
I bowled a 301 and didn't get a Like from Doug.
While the OP started out as a joke, the thread has been a serious discussion the last few years.
In this case while it is slightly heavy (out of tolerance) I would keep it in a 2x2 and mark the weight, as it could be a slightly thicker rolled...
The D in the OP seems pretty strong to me. If that yellow color is what it looks like, that's too bad.
Separate names with a comma.
