If anyone does and wants to play with this post, by all means have at it. Also, these coins are from 2 different mints. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/29/2006 3:41 pm There is master die doubling that exists on all nickels from 1939 through 1964, which is probably what you're showing here. Two different dies would have the same doubling in this case. In order to determine whether your two coins were struck with the same die, I would have to have good photos of similar markers between the two coins and I would have to be able to discern which photos were of which coins.

stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 12/29/2006 4:03 pm Thanks Coppercoins. If I understand correctly, the master die had doubling on it so any dies produced from that master would share some of the same characteristics even though sent to different mints.
