Love it..
That is a beauty!

 

Someone really needs to explain to me how to identify a 1939 nickel with a reverse of 40 or 38, I'm not really having any luck finding info on it...

 

That's a beauty. I went with 66. I didn't choose 67 due to the mark in the field on the reverse. I feel it is had no chance at FS though.

 

Lehigh wrote a nice article about this. I just checked, and the site seems to be down temporarily.

 

Boy I LOVE transition mules !

I am gonna say it would come back MS68. It's a beaut !

 

It's too nice for 65, but it doesn't have full steps.
I say if it's PCGS, MS-66.

 

67

 

Reverse of 40
Clearly defined start & end point on the left & right side of the stairs.
Thick top step with clearly defined base at the columns.

 

I just posted the article on Cointalk (see link below).

Ms67

 

MS66 sounds right to me.

Another nice Jefferson!

 

66 but no FS. Nice Jeff! TC
