Owner's Description

Finding this 1939-S Jefferson Graded-MS67 ,took me by surprize. I just found a very scarce coin,a
reverse of (38') that has always been considered an expensive issue, right-along with its sibling, the
reverse of 1940. Not many of these exist in this high grade where with (both) grading services, Pcgs
and Ngc less than (25) are in this Grade. It wasn't until just recently these are just as rare or possibly
rarer than the 1939-Denver.

Alot of these 1939-S Jeffersons with the early reverse are really beautiful choice looking nickles , but
finding one of these are getting scarce.Finding one that has fullsteps, good luck! an these are getting
extremely hard to find. Imagine coming across one that shows clean 6FS! Ben Nagengast mentioned
in his book that back in the early 1980's a seller had one of these . It literally blew everyone away and
sold for $2,640 dollars at coin show.Another example of why I chose collecting in this Jefferson Series.

I'm often thinking to myself, is it possible to find one now,,,,,,,,,,,,What if ?
