mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 10/28/2013 5:53 pm Hello, I just checked my 1881 trime coin (on the left shot directly below and noticed what appears to be doubling at the base of the neck and around some of the letters etc. Another 1881 BU unc trime (on the right portion of the side-by-side comparison photos) taken from ebay is shown for use as a non DDO comparison: The URL directly below is the actual link to the ebay source of the BU unc 1881 trime: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIP-1...em2328ce9511 The following close-ups taken from the above left lower grade trime photo are better to use for evaluating evidence of a possible DDO: Try to concentrate initially on the areas in between each set of arrows within these side-by-side shots. Please express your opinions as to whether or not we have discovered a possible new 1881 trime variety. Thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 10/28/2013 10:57 pm The letters are Longacre doubling, one clue is the doubling is all around the letters. It is very common on the 3 cent nickels. I believe the line at the bottom of the neck is part of the design (it is on many of my pieces). I am on my iPad so I can't see enough of the bow to say there is anything going on with it. (The term trime actually refers to 3 cent silver coins and not Three Cent Nickel sisters. ) IMHO this is a nice circulated example but not a new variety. Edited for grammar.
