. Really nice find. @Brandmeister. I gotta ask. How many rolls of nickels do you go through? A long time ago I decided not to get any nickels. A few weeks ago one of my banks had a couple extra boxes of all the coins. So just had to try nickels again. Three quarters of one box and I think ( maybe) a RPM. Nickels are so beat up.

Rob, I do $20 of nickels every two weeks. Slightly more often if I have time (and desk space!). So I am only working through five rolls of MWR nickels every week. However, I go over every nickel with an iPad magnifier, so I find all sorts of little oddities. It keeps me engaged in the CRH, because the significant finds are so few and far between.

Okay thanks. I've noticed they are very few few far far between and I don't sta stutter. I use a AM scope with my iPhone on a stand. I can pull in really pretty close ups and actually to close for pictures. I have a box and a half to go with nickels. I just switched to one of quarter boxes. I get really bored if I don't find even a crack.   |

tbh, I don't think the lines in door varieties are that rare. Maybe 1-in-300 (per 2006-2023 nickels, obviously not every roll is 100% that year range). I might post my setup for looking for them, because a few weeks ago I realized that pointing the light top->bottom across the reverse will hide many of the new WDDR lines in the shadow of the top door post. Using the light bottom->top across the reverse face makes them way easier to spot.

 . Lighting at different angles does help. I have the coin on a stand which I'm able to turn it with the coin leaving the light stationary. It's not professional looking but I think it works pretty well. |

I decided to submit this coin to Brian Ribar for consideration for the Wexler catalog. I found the new listing on the Brian's Variety Coins website last night: 2019-P 5c WDDR-070  This was the third of three nickels in the submission package. |

Congrats, that's a nice DDR! So are we calling them "lines" rather than "bars"? |

I thought Bars were located between rim and letters? It may get confusing if they both are called bars.

Thanks, guys. =)
My understanding of bars is also that they were between the devices and the rim. That doesn't mean my use of the term "lines" for modern nickel DDRs is technically correct. The listings just refer to the doubled features. I don't know what else you'd call them though, they are lines and fragments of lines.
