Lot Title:
|
1939 Double Die Reverse. MS-63.
|
|
Description:
|
Beautiful doubling of Monticello on the reverse is the hallmark of this very prominent doubled-die - easily the most popular in the Jefferson nickel series. This bright coin displays pleasing mint luster and a marginally better than average strike for the issue.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
