Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 12/08/2015 9:13 pm Hi MS - your picture is a bit out of focus, but it looks like a deteriorated die. This was pretty common for the period as the dies were worked pretty hard; 1962 especially so. Take a few more pictures of the date and the adjacent devices. Folks here will help you dial in. Good luck on the hunt!! Report this Post to the Staff

MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 12/09/2015 10:27 pm This is a DIFFERENT 1964 nickel. It also has Die Deterioration in the circle of the 6. The 4 is doubled on the bottom though I believe. What does everyone think? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 5:10 pm Very heavy die wear. Not the tail on the "4" and the tops of the motto and LIBERTY? Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 5:43 pm MS - regarding your second specimen, if you go to Brian's Variety Coins you'll see proof specimens with a similar condition. I've found a couple specimens like yours over the year, but I've attributed that to Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 6:47 pm So the 4 would also be Die Deterioration and not doubling? Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 8:53 pm the proof coins do have doubling on the 64 on the date while it looks similar it is different. yes your coin is doubled but not the collectible kind. if you look at these two examples then at your coin you will see the difference doubled proof http://www2.briansvarietycoins.com/...gs/view/1096 If you look at this older thread with same Die Deterioration you will see the similarity to your coin https://goccf.com/t/9887 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/11/2015 2:01 pm Machine Doubling can alter outside and inside devices, but always reduces the size of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
