Message:: [QUOTE="jimburns, post: 1213347, member: 31853"]I recently purchased coins from a lady whose husband had passed. Most of his coins were silver or gold and he collected some high-end/graded Morgans. The inner lock box in his safe contained the more valuable items. This is the only coin that was in there that I don't know much about. I don't know why he put this with the valuables. He did not have any other nickels, and 1939 was of no significance to either of them. I got it for free with my purchase, and just recently decided to figure it out. In my 2011 World Coins book, it lists two choices for 1939s (reverse of 38 and 40). After going to PCGS's site, it's pretty clear to me that this is a reverse of 1940 with full, straight and clear steps. It seems to be in better condition than their MS-65 grade example, with very few faint marks visible at 10x+ magnification. The flip that it is in just says "1939s" in his handwriting. Other than that, I don't know what to say. Any help would be appreciated.    [ATTACH]128392.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]128393.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
