    Hello, an' Good-Morning ? It's been awhile since I've posted, and wanted to come back an' share my finds...

    The 1939-D Jefferson alone is pretty Tough to find, let alone,tryin' to find one with Full-Steps! To the Jeff/Collector's out here, I'm putting in a photo of the Rev/ for you to see. I haven't seen any quite like this, especially going all the way across like this one. I don't see any intrusions, or any marks, that might be questionable, IMO... I'd appreciate your thoughts, on this coin. I realize, it's very hard to actually grade a coin, without having it in hand. I know from just looking at it , if it's not a FS ,,,it's right there! Bein' as close as one can get. I also thought about sending it in to either PCGS or' NGC . Not really sure, which would give me a fair call on this. It just might be better, to put it in my Rare/Raw Section of Jeffs'...

    So here's the Photo':kewl: ,,,,Enjoy! / Chasindreams'

    Based on what I can see in your pics - no way that's FS.

    The 1939-D Jefferson Type 1 with "Wavy-Steps"

    The 1939-D Jefferson alone is pretty Tough to find, let alone,tryin' to find one with a type-1- with-Steps! To the Jeff/Collector's out here,
    I'm putting in a photo of this 1939-D-Rev38'/ for you to see. I haven't seen any quite like this in a long time, especially going all the way across like this one. I don't see any intrusions, or any marks, that might be questionable, IMO...
    Yes,These Steps' appear mushy and not clearly defined. The steps are uneven and (wavy) and the indentations between the steps vary in depth. Also the steps are not always worn away, quite often they were incomplete when they were minted. IMO'?> 1938 nickels are elusive and so are the 1939's. This is partly the reason for the reworked dies of 1940.
    I firmly' believe, full step nickels from 1938 and 1939 with the steps of 1938 are so undervalued.

    I merged this with the other thread you started on the same coin 2 days ago.

    I think it is - but it is hard to tell because shot is at angle and rotated in step area rather than horizontal. as far as grading, how can you without obverse pic. The reverse of 38 is rather interesting amd cool, nice coin
