<B>1940 5C Reverse of 1940 PR68 <img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10> NGC.</B></I> While a proof die with the wavy-steps Reverse of 1938 somehow slipped into production in 1940, most coins of that issue have at best five and a half steps--even on proofs--and many of them show tiny carbon spots. The straight-steps Reverse of 1940 proofs "always show six full steps," according to Bernard Nagengast in the <I>Jefferson Nickel Analyst</B></I> (second edition, 2002). This phenomenal specimen is no exception, but it is its intense and beautiful coloration that garners the Star designation. The surfaces, expectedly pristine, show an ice-blue obverse with a touch of fuchsia predominating on both sides. Intense rainbow hues from lemon-yellow to violet deepen at the rims. The reverse offers more lilac-pink, with similar rainbow hues at the rim. One of two pieces at NGC graded PR68 S, with none finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
