1945-P Jefferson War Nickel, Flip Over Double Strike

He is a moderator, by the way, and he knows what he's doing. He posted that so you could have something to compare a real doubled flipped struck whatever with yours. I do not believe that you have a doubled struck flipped what ever. It would be more pronounced.

Then I'm not looking close enough either, except at the confrontational language you're choosing to use. He posted that because you don't seem to know what a flipover is, if you think that Nickel is one.

Let's stop this before we get the thread locked.
I can see what appears to be a faint outline of Jefferson's face between the words 'Monticello' and 'Five Cents' on the reverse, as well as part of the bust in the upper right field, if the coin is viewed at a normal angle. To be fair though, it is so faint that it took a bit of looking around to find it. I don't know if this is a multiple strike or not, maybe it's just a bit of wishful thinking on my part, but take a look in those regions and tell us what you see, everyone.

Sorry for the terse rebuttal to Coop's post ... but his response totally blew any real discussion of this coin completely out of the water.

Dave ... With all due respect, I do know what I'm talking about on this one, and while I could spend a bunch of time making arrows and captions ... it's simply not worth it.

I've spent hours looking at this piece. There are things that will never photograph because the ensuing strike so completely obliterates any of the legends and devices from the first strike. especially in the fields.

That said, the railing at the top of Monticello can easily be seen, as well as the frames of windows on Jefferson's collar, but only if you spend enough time studying the coin. Maybe photos will never get you there. Nothing will if you've closed your mind, and it appears that is exactly what has happened.

I think that would have made this a completely different thread..some arrows and a better descriptions of what your seeing would have certainly helped..heck thats what the experts have taught us here.
How do you know your not seeing remnants of a light clash or another coin having been pressed against it? If you spent hours looking at this coin one would think you could take 5 min. to put some arrows in the images. No hard feelings just my opinion.

A clash appears only in the fields ...and is but an outline (reversed) of the opposite side of the coin.

I just don't have the equipment to properly photograph the details, nor the time to spend on it....maybe later, but not now.

Take a look at the letter "F" in the detail photo. That is not reversed, and it appears exactly where the F in Five cents would be relative to Monticello. I can also see a shadow .. albeit a bit enlarged from the striking, of the 3 in the date. That appears on the reverse of the coin....again, not reversed.

I know photos always lose the important details, so although I doubt it at this point, you can take it to a local dealer, coin club or fellow collector and see if they think it's anything. I for one would like to know the opinion of an expert who has seen it firsthand.

It seems to have remained in the collar, Ken. I'll tray and shoot some more pics later. I'm "at work" right now.
