Outstanding CRH find! One of the most popular Jefferson nickel mintmark varieties. =) |

Would DOCC's techniques work on this coin?

Thanks for the comments everybody! Quote:

This coin underwent a first phase DOCC treatment prior to these photos. https://www.prodetecting.com/blog/c...-alkali-washThis initial wash seemed to clean it up a bit. If the coin gets dramatically better over the next couple weeks I'll update here with photos. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Excellent find CoinHI.
I'm guessing that is a dirt coin that someone has already processed and thrown back into circulation. Has the appearance of a Peroxide bath.
Based on images I do not think you'll get very far with Alkali washing, very little buildup left to remove (above Monticello). Looks to be surface oxidation/staining, it is virtually impossible to naturally return CuproNickel to its original silver coloration.

Thanks for the feedback DOCC! Side note: It looks like you can make out the faint outline of the secondary MM curve going through the primary MM. I attached a collage showing what I think I'm seeing.  |

I'm not sure why the horizontal D would cut through the upright D. It seems most likely that the correct D was punched second. Also, the upright D stands higher above the field, so the shallower first punch should not cut through its top surface.
I think it's probably just a very coincidentally placed ding. But I could certainly be wrong about that.

Great roll find. Congrats. Quote:

Also, the upright D stands higher above the field, so the shallower first punch should not cut through its top surface. The curve of the horizontal D does appear to cross the base of the normal D. I can agree with the sequence of which came first, but if the horizontal D was tilted that could account for the curve of it ending up deeper on the die than the normal D.
