The 1938-San Francisco nickel with those elusive fullsteps!
Of all the three mints' it was the San Francisco mint that had the lowest population in this year
along with a very weak step area to go with it. Trying to find nice gems like this one has always
been tough on collectors.
I was surprized when referencing this coin' that another former member, Hoot! also had this
coin. He won two awards in the best presented category back in 2003' & 2004' .The (certification
numbers) matched-up' was an eye opener.I have also read each of his coin descriptions in both
years. He had a way with his words, which showed his strong passion' collecting in this series.
Hoot's description of this coin, its on the reverse photo' above for your enjoyment as well.
Viewing these photos you'll notice very clean fields with those awesome steps for this early type
nickle.I had to grab this rarity because I believe this coin borders from actually being a MS-66 within
a hair of bein (6) steps to boot! The scratch you see on the reverse of this coin above the dome is
on the holder, not on the coin.
