QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 6:34 pm Bought a roll of circulated 1939 nickels for $7 hoping to find one of these. I got lucky and managed to pull one, which was honestly quite a surprise to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97914 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 6:39 pm WOW sure looks like a DDR Even the Five Cents are doubled. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 7:29 pm Excellent find! I always found it funny that it was labeled the "doubled Monticello" when FIVE CENTS is doubled just as nicely. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 7:41 pm That's a super nice DDR, and on a very nice coin. When I get in the big lots of circ nickels I would say I find one of these maybe once out of every 200 1939-P coins. Surprisingly common given how well-known it is and obvious it is. It is always enjoyable to search the 1939's as seems like still a lot of great doubled dies in the wild. Report this Post to the Staff

QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 7:57 pm Thanks all of you! It does tend to be fairly common as far as varieties go, but it's still a wonderful find from a $7 roll. Report this Post to the Staff
