I unfortunately cannot make the picture any clearer but I believe the 1 in the date on the obverse is notched and has a tail at the bottom as well. Please let me know what you think.

jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 566 Posts	Posted 03/09/2012 4:42 pm I agree there is some Machine Doubling, but I have taken some additional pictures and highlighted what I am concerned about. Report this Post to the Staff

jdavis18 Pillar of the Community United States 566 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 6:02 pm Does anyone know someone on this forum who is familiar/collects the Jefferson nickel series that may have some input on this nickel? Also, I wouldn't mind hearing if more people think this is Die Deterioration or Machine Doubling as opposed to notching symbolic of a doubled die. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15632 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 6:19 pm Alas the Jefferson nickel series has never garnered the level of attention to identify/catalog every variety ... so surely there are some minor DDO/etc out there that quite honestly have not yet been identified. I can't say for your coin ... but the final detail photos should be good enough for the DDO experts to weigh in.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 6:50 pm I don't know if it has been attributed as a DDO but there is one guy that I would send your images to. Brian Ribar. He has gotten back to me every time I wrote him. You may even see your name someday as the person who discovered it if you are the first to report it. On the other hand, I don't know if it is a doubled die but I lean towards yes since the "flag" on the one appears to have two distinct points. http://ncadd98.org/web_documents/se..._website.pdf go to page 23 of this pdf file page and you will see his email address.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 6:56 pm Check other examples of the 1961 nickels. The Denver one in my circulated collection looks exactly like that on the 1. The plain one is a later die state and it wasn't on that one. But others may have examples to check. I'm a Cent guy myself. Report this Post to the Staff
