I'd like to see those pictures DEVLEC because, unless you are describing another coin, the pictures presented in this post are classic Mechanical Doubling. Obvious thinning of the relieves on date! (ie. inside loop of digits 9 and 8 are enlarged)   Obvious thinning of the relieves on T.S!  Here is the picture of the tip of the sun that I modified. The cut out view shows the stepping in the design element.  |

So I was correct, you are describing another coin.
You see how confusing it may be.
Thanks for the information.

I revive this old thread - just to provide an update on this coin. I published about this Doubled Die Reverse in the CN Journal in 2015. Now, PCGS will recognize this as a DDR. I just got this one back. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/83461004Silverdon - I want to thank you again for bring this new variety to light, in a series that I love.

Great news Roger, nice to see the DDR recognized by PCGS. I'll have to submit mine now. Great work on the variety elements, the notching, and detective work and thanks for the acknowledgement. I replaced the broken link pictures. SilverDon Edited by SilverDon

After a short conversation with a representative at PCGS, the 1971 DDR nickel dollar is now in the proof-like registry (with varieties). This one is easier to find, as I have found at least five at coin shows and several collectors here have also found it easily. https://www.PCGS.com/SetRegistry/ca...osition/3064"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
