1940 Jefferson Nickel Proof PCGS PR68 Reverse of 1938 CAC Top Pop

  

1940 Jefferson Nickel Proof PCGS PR68 Reverse of 1938 CAC Top Pop. Ice-blue, pink, magenta, and apricot colors endow this well-struck and seemingly unimprovable PR68 specimen. Even close examination with a loupe fails to reveal any marks, hairlines, spots, or other distractions on either side. According to Ron Guth and Bill Gale in their 2002 edition of. United States Proof Sets and Mint Sets.

The Reverse of 1938 (with wavy steps on Monticello) is currently "approximately fifty times rarer" than the Reverse of 1940 variety.
