For what I can find there were several die (marriage?) varieties for the 1939 Jefferson Nickels. I've decided to list my complete BU date/mm set (1938 thru 1985). I would like to ID the 1939 varieties. Pictures would be preferable but a description is better than nothing. Here's what I've think covers the options: 1939 Reverse of 1940 1939-D Reverse of 1938 1939-D Reverse of 1940 1939-S Reverse of 1940 1939 Doubled Monticello (wishful thinking) Plus let me know if there are others I should be aware of. I know about the 1943 P, 3/2.
The 1939 reverses are not considered varieties per se, as they are design changes so I don't think you will find them in a reference for varieties. You really only need one example from reverse of 38 and one reverse of 40 to differentiate, for example. 1939-D Reverse of 1938 1939-D Reverse of 1940 You will also need the actual varieties for 1939: 1939 Reverse of 1940 DDR Doubled Monticello 1939 Reverse of 1940 QDR As for a reference webpage for Jefferson Nickel varieties, I simply use the NGC Variety Plus for Jefferson Nickels page. I am planning to create a series of posts on Cointalk that highlight the different major Jefferson Nickel varieties sometime in the near future.
