Does it look like this 1954 D nickel is a D/D or DDD on this mint mark I know this year is known for the S/D and PCGS does have a D/D. Thank you in advance
thank you all for the feedback! @Spence, This link is very helpful and a great addition to my notes Thank you. Edit: I just noticed the link in your comment @-Makecents-, This link is also extremely helpful and will also be added to my notes Thank you
Note the size of the device is not enlarged, like a RPM would be. Machine Doubling alters the contour of the device. RPMs enlarge the mintmark showing two punches: http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...%201954D.htm Note the listings for this year. Note how the RPM, is showing in a separate punch? Note the description boxes for the direction of the second (or more) punches.
most nickels from that era have at least some hint of a doubled mintmark, often it's due to Machine Doubling, and in some cases is due to the mintmark punch bouncing slightly
