It's been quite sometime since my last post but I had to show you this beautiful coin.This was
haunting me for years trying to find one in this grade.
I never actually thought I'd come across a 1939-S Reverse of 40' in MS-67, what makes this
particular coin special to me is the quality and luster presented here, tough to find at this
grade level, these photos will show you this rare quality nickel.

These coins are not as nice as the reverse of 1938' often seen with off-luster and
weak strikes-Gem coins are quite rare.

As a date, the 1939-S is attractive because of its low mintage.The Reverse of 1940 is
even more attractive because, compared to the Reverse of 1938, the former is almost
ten times as rare as the latter.The typical grade for this variety is MS65, and the
finest example certified by PCGS is a single MS67.
