WheatHunter Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 12/19/2015 8:42 pm Is this Machine Doubling, Longacre doubling, a doubled die or something else? I'm assuming this is Longacre doubling since it sounds like it is common on Shield nickels, but I'm not sure. The right side of the obverse has the most noticeable doubling. The strongest doubling is in the date and in "trust" in the motto. Unfortunately these are the best pictures I can get right now. However, I should be able to get better pictures tomorrow.

WheatHunter Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 12/22/2015 11:05 pm OK, here are some better pictures. The "ST" in trust. Edited by WheatHunter 12/22/2015 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 09:18 am With the closer pictures, the ST and date both show MDD. On the other hand the anulet, and shield lines show that the coin is a DDO. Edited by Conder101 12/23/2015 09:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
WheatHunter Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 12:25 pm OK, I'm almost 100% positive that this is the NGC labeled VP-005 variety (or F-10 by Fletcher). https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-variet...vp-005-5422/ Here is a better picture of the die crack (is that the right term?)on my coin. From what I could see it looks like only NGC attributes this variety. Edited by WheatHunter 12/23/2015 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
