What is a 1939 Rev of 38 MS66 (no FS) Jefferson nickel trending for nowadays?
I have an offer to buy one and I wanted to find out if the price is too high or not.
I know the PCGS price guide has them at $59.00, and the ecoinprices.com has them at $50.00.
Ebay may have crazy prices, so I am not sure at the moment.
I am willing to pay a premium for one, but not something way out there.
Thanks
Earl

PS: Oops I forgot to mention it is in a PCGS slab too.

I am of the view that the reverse of 38 is much tougher... as for a price in 66, I would defer to the real Jefferson experts on the forum. Personally, in a PCGS slab, I don't think $40-45 would be out of line but I could be optimistic

Just a guess, but I would say range from $35-$40 for a generic example to $75-$90 for a PQ+ piece with killer toning. Can't trust the pop reports at PCGS when comparing the R38 and R40 coins as all examples graded prior to the split now show as R38, but I can neither confirm nor deny coinkat's claim as to which is tougher without digging around a bit first for more info.
