1939 Jefferson Nickel. FS-801. Doubled Die Reverse, Doubled MONTICELLO. MS-66 FS (PCGS). CAC. A remarkable second high grade offering for this extremely popular, yet conditionally challenged variety. Lustrous and smooth surfaces are brilliant apart from the lightest champagne-gold iridescence. Impressive striking detail is razor sharp to full over even the most intricate design elements in and around the central reverse. If the MS-67 FS example in the preceding lot is beyond your reach, this premium Gem 1939 Doubled MOMTICELLO nickel is nearly as rare, and every bit as desirable. From the George "Buddy" Byers Buckeye Collection. Earlier ex Heritages sale of the Compradore Collections, June 2008 Summer FUN Signature Auction, lot 509; Heritages Long Beach Signature Auction of February 2010, lot 306.
