5C 1939 DOUBLED DIE REV
|
|
Purchased this coin as an affordable 1939 Rev. 40 DDR (doubled MONTICELLO, doubled FIVE CENTS). It is MS62 and in an old ANACS holder. In addition to the aforementioned, coin has developed a very nice golden patina.

5C 1939 QDR REV OF 40 FS-802
|
NGC MS 65 5FS
|
Bright white coin with no distractions. IMO obverse is a 65 (two unfortunate hits - one on Jeffersons coat and the other on the cheek) while the reverse is a 67 (no hits at all and fully struck). The QDR is amazing when seen under a 6X loupe.

5C 1941 S Large S
|
PCGS MS 65
|
The 1941S large S is an interesting striking that was purprorted to use only one die pair. This was the basis for all S mintmark designs to come in later years (excludining the War Year Nickels 1942S thru 1945S) and the easiest way I have found to distinguish it from its small S brother is by looking at the serifs of the S.

5C 1943/2 P
|
PCGS MS 66
|
This is one of the cleanest, brightest, and pure white coins I have ever seen. This coin while having no hint of color to it, abosolutly screams "look at me" while in hand. This coin shows the "2" underdate very clearly even without magnification and it just pops at you under 5x magnification.
It resides in a PCGS "OGH' and if resubmitted today should garner at least a plus. It also boasts full cartwheel luster and is just shy of FS (5-5-4-5) . There are times when looking at it that you would swear it has FS depending on the orientation of the coin to the light source..

5C 1943 P DDO FS-106
|
NGC MS 65 6FS
|
This is the double-eye variety which has a very nice strike consistant with the grade. Combine this with booming luster peering out from variegated toning plus six steps and you have this coin. The double eye is described by Bernard Nagengast in his 2002 book "The Jefferson Nickel Analyst" as 'Somewhat scarce in uncirculated,though many may remain to be discovered in unsearched rolls. The five step frequency of appearance is 1:20, with six step coins being unverified.'
Skip forward 10 years to June, 2012 and NGC has graded 10 6FS. 1-MS63, 1-MS64, 4-MS65, and finally 4-MS66.

Very nice for the grade S/S variety and will fit nicely in my grand daughters Jefferson Variety Set.

5C 1959 IMPROPERLY ANNEALED
|
NGC MINT ERROR MS 64
|
In the late 50s some nickel planchets were improperly annealed at the Philadelphia Mint turning the planchet a very dark almost black color. This nickel was struck on such a planchet and is commonly referred to as a Black Beauty.
