Studio69 ABB New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 11:01 pm Found this 1980 D nickel and would like to know if you think this is Machine Doubling or actual doubling, basically, is it an error coin? It's in pretty sad shape so I'm sure it doesn't have much value, but I have been searching for an error coin for most my life and this is the closest I've come. I appreciate and value all of your opinions. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6596 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 11:30 pm Define "error coin". If you would accept a current model Jefferson nickel DDR as a genuine error coin, the lines-in-doors varieties are easy to spot. I found three in $20 of nickels, and only half of them were 2006-2023. They are fairly common on Philadelphia nickels from 2014, 2019, 2020. If you get mostly Denver nickels, then the chances are close to zero, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98440 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 4:06 pm Yep, that would be MD - and IF it were doubling, any value would be lost due to the extreme damage. Collecting since 1972.
