Is this 1939 a valuable coin? I seen one a friend had that was close in years and was graded at over $700. Not sure why it was valuable but Im sure I can't get that lucky... Also aquired a buffalo nickel but the year is worn off. From what I searched it really has no value, correct?

The only 39P or any 39 Jefferson nickel I see worth those bucks is a DDR in MS grade. See if you can get some closeups of the area shown in the link. Also see if you can get a closeup of "IN GOD" on the obverse. Link (https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/98...le-monticello/)
Here are a couple other links to check out if you see any doubling.

My guess is someone thought it is the 1939 DDR. The price listed in the Cherry Pickers Guide was $700 but that's for a high grade example.
You need a close up of FIVE CENTS and Monticello. I can't see it in your photos.
If it was that variety then it has some value but much less than $700, it would be something above $25 (rough guess) in that condition.Comment

It's still worth at least five cents more if you could melt it down for the silver
Not to bad looking for its age!!!

The 40% wartime nickels started midyear 1942 and went to 1945. You can tell them because they have the mintmarks over the dome and even the P has a big P over the dome. So there is no silver in any 1939

The 42 came both ways, non silver with regular D and S or no mintmark on the plain or in silver with the big mintmarks over the dome so they are easy to tell apart.Comment
