Hello all,
The Story begins, I find this shiney new Nickel and straight to my jeans Stash pocket. When I get home and Loupe it.After I looked closer, it reminded me of an article or Post about why Denver Mint does not produce as many
DDO or
DDR as Philadelphia. Then, about another Post I read about an 1983
LMC DDR (can not remember which Mint), that was assumed was a MD, but actually is a
DDR. So, I look up
DDO 2018 D Jefferson, because some of the Liberty looks a little Doubled. This is one of the first to pop up about
DDO. I continue to look and similar type of DDOs pop up but of different dates of
Jefferson nickels. After finding this coin, and several other date Jefferson(same series design) with Liberty Doubling. I have some Questions about False
DDO and
DDR strikes.
1. What would be the Odds of me finding the Exact OP coin, if they released it back to the wild, some 4 months later?
2. What are the Odds this being the same coin in all the different Post?
3. What are the Odds of there being a "F" IT(Friday), Strike Doubled(Saturday, Sunday) or MD(Monday) at the Mint?(Different dates)
4. If only MD, why are some many Different date Jeffersons being found with simialr Doubling but not any other Denominations?(Series Die issue only to Jeffersons)
5. What are the Odds of MD being Exactly the same on different coins and on different dates?(varying degree of Liberty DDO[my observation], from posted and my coins, similar to Wyoming Quarters)
6. What are the Odds of the Single Squeeze process producing a different type of Doubled Die?
7. What are the Odds of Tracing this issue to a Certain Press or Die?(One Press always Loose)
8. Can MD be transferred (if produced before Die production) to the Die?(Is MD possible on a Hub)
9. Does MD effect the same areas on a Legend(similar to DDOs or DDRs), or does it effect areas at random on the Legend?(coins exhibit in same areas of Legend[Quick Study])
10. Will this type of MD, Exhibit on Philadelphia Mint Jeffersons?(only seen Denver)[Mint or Series die problem]
Pics are of same coin.
Thank you for the help,
Edward M.
