PS - Check your 1939 Jefferson Nickel hoards folks...you may have a few higher value specimens you didn't know you had.
Take a look at the last S in PLURIBUS and the second T in STATES. Compare that to the 1938 reverse you posted. They are the same. On the 1939...
1939 has the 38 Reverse. Nice!
Gayland - as noted what you are seeing on your coin is a common effect from overworked and over polished dies. If you look at a condition/issue...
Hi Grace - I’m happy to offer you any insight I can so feel free run your questions by me. I’ll do my best to help you along the learning curve....
I think about all I've ever used youtube for with regards coin collecting is to see the occasional videos created by fellow enthusiasts who lurk...
Small cud above the 6 as noted by Paddy. I'd hold it until you get a better grade specimen with the cud more obvious (not that yours isn't). To...
Nice finds. Something for folks to consider. 1982 nickels in high grades are worth saving (AU/BU). No mint sets so high grade business strikes...

It looks like it was lying in a pool of 'something' that stained the coin and created a 'highwater mark'. If you soak the coin in water to see if...
Expected a dollar...got a quarter instead.
That's a winner!! Congrats!!
Yes...someone was angry with my state's quarter.
Nice pictures by the way. Using a flat/matte backing and cropping the pictures will draw the eye to the coin. You are off to a great start....
That sounds about right in my recollection. The mid and late 70s didn't produce a lot of RPMs, DDOs, and DDRs as I recall (I mostly collect cents...
Here is a link to the DDR for that date. Unfortunately, your coin isn't a match. But keep looking!! You'll find doubled dies out there....
I've not heard the terms used, but here is a link to the design varieties for the Lincoln Cent....
A general comment: you'll find that for various coin denominations, the obverse and reverse images may appear different. Here is a link to a page...
Don't worry Mike...it'll come. You're building upon the knowledge you are gaining each day. I found when CRH that with repetition, and there's...
