1939 Jefferson nickels were struck with two slightly different reverse dies.
Type I nickels, also know as "reverse of 1938", were struck using the reverse design from the prior year. They're characterized by a weakly-defined and somewhat wavy set of steps at the base of Monticello's columns. In addition the blocks at either side of the steps can appear to be rounded rather than rectangular.
Type II nickels resulted when the Mint re-engraved the steps to straighten them, improve their definition, and square off the blocks at either end. That die hub was carried over to the next year so 1939 Type II nickels are also called "reverse of 1940".
The design change was made early in 1939 so the great majority of nickels from that year are Type II. In any case the differences can be difficult to spot if the coins are worn.
