splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 10:49 am How does such doubling happen? Is it that way in the die? That's a beautiful coin and 1962 seems to be one of the tougher nickels to get from the 60's Edited by splatto 05/14/2010 10:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 10:57 am The "doubling" is due to the die being re-engraved. On this coin here, the 1 and the 2 on the die had been re-engraved, which is how this happens. It is not an issue of the coin being struck twice. The 1962 nickels have various forms of the re-engraving. I find at least one of these a month going through nickels, and the 1 and the 2 being re-engraved appears to be most common. Some of the coins have had all of the digits in the year re-engraved. But yes, this is the variety, or at least one of the varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
realpenny Valued Member 423 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 3:33 pm Thanks Ugly. Guess I should play with the levels to see things better. splatto: The coin is very worn, but it was pulled from circulation. I'm sure you'll find one. jg86: Thanks for the detailed info. The word Elizabeth also is doubled on the other side. Maybe in time I'll get some of the other versions - I didn't know there was a bunch of them. Report this Post to the Staff
