5 cents 1939
When you look up values it depends on grade (condition) also if your value came from Ebay It doesn't mean anything because if you advertise a coin there you can put whatever price you think someone might pay, it doesn't necessarily mean it is worth the amount it is selling for.I could put a 1 cent coin on there and say it's worth $2000.00 dollars because I really hope someone is dumb enough to. A well-worn 1939 nickel is worth approximately 7 to 10 cents. An 1939 Jefferson nickel in uncirculated condition is worth about $2 and up. 1939 nickels with Full Steps details on Monticello are worth $20 and up. (The most valuable was graded MS68 by Professional Coin Grading Service and sold for $23,500.).
