I just found this while roll hunting : 1938 D Nickel ,the stairs on the back are more than half there, what do you think it would be graded at?
Beautifu Find ! I had to buy one to complete my album. That;s the one that evaded me. I could not guess the grade. I am still learning that.
Awesome! Epic find. MS-something. Need bigger pictures to determine exact (well not exact but close as can be with it not in hand).
Yea I'm pretty excited ,this is the oldest best conditioned coin I have found in a roll.I'll see if I can get bigger more clear pictures of the coin up on here tomorrow. Thank you.
A coin of that quality in a roll ? Sounds as if that was one which got away. Were there any other nickels from that period in there, e.g. within 10 years? Did the roll come from a banking institution ? Friend ? . . : >)
Daaang that is a beauty! I don't collect nickels but the way that cartwheel shines on that coin... hm.. I've also noticed that Jefferson tend to tone wonderfully on their own. I think I might have to get into collecting these
That is nice looking mint state specimen! Hard to believe that came from roll searching. Perhaps there is a collector out there seeding the rolls they turn back in, or maybe some crack head cashed in grandma's collection!
i was going to say very nice, but can you provide better pic of the date? almost looks like a 5 not a 3, but i could be wrong. anyone else? i hope im wrong and then congrats. very nice find.
It looks like a 3 to me for sure. Great find. Last week, I found a '38-S in change, not quite as nice as this, but certainly AU.
