Congrats on this one.
These war nickels have gotten me before with their Master die doubling.
Having the DDO & DDR sure narrows down the choices.

Troubled minds think alike.
I thought exactly the same as Makescents, until (like him) I saw the same area on the "L".
Nice error.

I will add that lots of times when there is a die anomaly on a large portion of coins from a particular mint and year it will often be master die doubling. (1972 Lincoln cents for example.)

Since you are finding this only on the Philly coins, this might be the case with your coin.

Master die doubling doesn't really add any value to a coin, but it can make a coin more interesting as an educational piece.

Here's a PCGS list of mule coins.
Washington Quarter struck with two 25-cent eagle reverse dies.
Roosevelt Dime struck with two 10-cent reverse dies.
(2000-P) Sacagawea Dollar reverse die paired with a 50 State Quarter obverse (unquestionably the most famous of the U.S. mules).
1993-D Lincoln Cent struck with dime reverse die.
(1995) Roosevelt Dime struck with dime reverse and a 1995 Lincoln Cent obverse.
2014-D Sacagawea Dollar obverse paired with a Presidential Dollar reverse (a recent discovery coin).
2001-D Lincoln Cent obverse paired with a Roosevelt Dime reverse (new discovery).
2000-P Jefferson Nickel struck with two obverse Jefferson Nickel dies.

So many things vying for our attention and some are quite humorous.

Maybe this is some of the money the Germans brought ashore in Ponte Vedra Beach (near Jacksonville) in 1942 during WWII.
No wonder they were caught!!

Yes, of course you are welcome to use them anytime. I'm glad to help the hobby.

If it's ok, I'd like to send you a link to an album I created for all the images of this coin. You are welcome to view them, use them, or toss them. Let me know if it's ok.
Thanks.

For the uninitiated, what are the three errors?
I'm assuming they have to do with the variety, but errors are usually associated with the strike and not a variety .

Thanks in advance.

... the Reverse has a Main strike through, I noticed it's raised in appearance...

A strikethrough is incuse.

My perception gets "inverted" sometimes where an incuse area on a coin will look raised, but I'm confident these areas are incuse.

In general, a strikethrough is foreign matter that has gotten between one of the dies and the planchet. That will leave an incuse (recessed) impression of the object.

There is the chance this was damage to the planchet before the strike. This is still a nice error, whatever it turns out to be.

I'm not sure if this image of a recent purchase is helpful but it is a 2005 D with a planchet error that appears to have happened before the plating process (at least before the process was completed).

This coin shows the "corrugation" on the normal fields of the coin as well as a few inside the missing area, although not as plentiful.

I agree your grandfather is smiling. It looks like you will have a lot of fun as you go through your grandfathers coin store inventory.

I was with MrT and others that wondered whether they were Small or Large date coins. Your pic of the roll explains why you couldn't know.
Because of my experiences, your last images of the roll with the ends taped up makes me think this roll had been examined and then taped up to keep the ends from falling open.

Have fun and let us know how your journey unfolds.

I missed this one the first go round. Congratulations.
(And in this thread, the item did look incuse, based on the shadows, and it did look like a dropped star)

Well done EV. It's always nice to find a duplicate of one you discovered.
(ps. I know of someone looking for one of those if you ever want to part with one.)
