Picked up a roll of 1939 nickels!

At auction this AM, I purchased a roll of 1939 nickels for face value. I found a doubled die reverse. It isn't much to look at, but I understand that these are pretty hard to come by. Don't know what I will do with it yet. Comments?.........Ken... Edited to add, anyone have any idea of the grade????

Nice find, the only one i ever found was at a local show, paid the dealer the .35 cents he was asking for it put my change in my pocket then asked if he would be interested in buying a 39 DDR sold it for $50.00

that is a great find, extreamly easy to get rid of.

I'd say a VG if that is a toning spot. Looks like the rarer type. Good find.
