Description

1940 Jefferson Nickel, PR68
Among the Finest at Both Services

1940 5C PR68 PCGS. This near-flawless Jefferson nickel proof features the Reverse of 1940 with strengthened steps. A small number of coins were also struck with the Reverse of 1938, showing softly-defined steps. Proofs manufactured from the older hub are very rare, but the Reverse of 1940 is no slouch either in PR68 condition, where this piece is among the finest at both services. Ice-blue centers and lime-green rims dominate each side. Fully struck without a single flaw of note. Population: 3 in 68, 0 finer (6/16).(Registry values: N991)
