smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2346 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 11:17 am I'm pretty sure it's a LDS with some die cracks forming in some of lettering. Neat little baby Cud at 1K on the obv and what looks like a decent size die crack under the bust. Sorry about all the pics from my cheap scope...lighting was moved all around to try and capture the notching like VV has http://varietyvista.com/04a%20JN%20...3PDDO013.htm I figured since PCGS only has 7 of these graded I'd post this one up. All comments welcomed and Thank you for looking! smat Report this Post to the Staff

Pigeonman333rd Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 11:14 am What that coin looks like is a common case of Mechanical Doubling. I'm afraid that is considered a flaw to most collectors but not me I would keep it label it Mechanical Doubling. Mechanical Doubling happens when the die machine components shake the die during a strike. The chances are some body wants that coin because its a 1943 P silver nickel and some may call the doubling a flaw but to some collectors they may see it as an opportunity to profess a new variety not necessarily a die variety but a Mechanical Doubling variety to collect aside from a nice strike. If its seen through out the whole coin that's pretty cool just enjoy it! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 7:05 pm Not a doubled die. Machine Doubling that was a high bounce on those areas you are seeing affected on the tops of the devices. Not the Date devices compare with you coin? http://www.varietyvista.com/04a%20J...3PDDO013.htm Note how much wider the all the obverse devices are on the DDO-013 than on your coin.
