FOUND ANOTHER ONE!

Wow....I was just coin roll hunting and I found this 1939 Nickel....
It's beautiful ( my opinion ) and has from what I can see, not too many
scratches at all...You know what's weird, in January I found a 1939 Nickel
that looked as good as this one does...Same year?!?!?...Anyways, this is
a keeper I do believe

And a DDR as well?? Lucky son of a gun.

 

Hey....Here's the one I found in January....wow....

 

Dude. The second is just a normal 1939. Those you can find fairly often in good condition. The first coin you posted is the 1939 Doubled Die Reverse:

Take a closer look...

 

Really! Look at it!! What a find that is!!!

 

LOL I don't think @SmokinJoe even looked before he posted.

 

That's one sweet a$$ coin!

 

That sure is Not Flat and Shelf Like Is It???

 

I think for face value CRH that's a heck of a deal. Nice DDR!

 

I've searched about $75k worth of nickels and this is on my list of things I haven't found.

 

Well done, I sure would like to find one of those in the wild.

 

That is definitely one of the key doubled dies of the series. Getting it for face value in that condition is sweeeeet.

 

There's strong doubling on the word Monticello.

 

Also on FIVE CENTS

 

I know! Man! And he's such a good chum, too, as far as those go, anyway, I'm really liking his style. And here he is, just sleepwalking through this, and he hits the jackpot!

Come on, @SmokinJoe! Speech! Take a bow, you deserve it!

 

Or, @SmokinJoe , I'll make you an offer....I have a roll of 39Ps that are in great condition...I will take that first coin off your hands and give you my roll . Yours is messed up... and you know you'd rather have nice shiny looking coins


I kid I kid. Seriously though, congrats. Keep your eyes peeled.

 

Oh My GOD.....No, I did not look at it ....Oh wow....I am keeping it for sure, but do you guys think it is worth?????

 

Check ebay recent sales. I think you will be fairly happy.

 

thanks furryfrog going there right now

 

I would think it books somewhere between $100 and $200 depending on grade (I'm assuming XF-AU.) You did very, very nicely for 5 cents!

Side note: perhaps this will be the coin that jump starts/inspires your variety searching quest. At the very least you have to learn to recognize the major DD's like this one haha (it's even in the Red Book!)
