Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7524 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 2:55 pm It is a DDD, Die Deterioration Doubling, very common on 1999 Nickel's since the die's were over worked beyond their life expectancy. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75494 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 4:22 pm I agree with Chase007. It's Die Deterioration Doubling, caused by a worn die. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 5:09 pm Except...is it DDD Die Deterioration OR MD Mechanical Doubling? Remember that Die Deterioration follows the flow of metal OUTWARDS as dies age, NOT inwards toward the center. OP's pic is rotated 90 degrees CW, therefore the appearance of a shelf-like Strike Doubling becomes obvious that it is indeed MD. First off, OP didn't show complete coin, this may have shown other areas affected as well. Even if no other area had MD, this still would be, for the simple reason RPM's ended in 1992 with the advent of the single-squeeze presses and the hub design manufacture.

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 7:11 pm @Docsrose, any chance of you posting an overall pic of both sides of this nickel?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/20/2018 8:05 pm RPMs not possible after 1990. The MD is on the inside of the device. So it is not Die Deterioration as that would be on the other side of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
