1964 Nickel DDR

Looks notched to me. Thanks for sharing. Watching to see what the experts say :-)

MS - DDR.

Don't forget to post broader shots with your close-ups. It will help folks here help to ascertain which variety you have. Also note that Error coins are different than Variety coins. What you have here is a variety coin.

Can you post additional pictures?

Someone will give better answer but a error is a one off die event that goes wrong versus a variety that is on the die and goes out to the run of the die over and over again.

MS - here's a link that has the various varieties we hunt for Lincoln Cents. http://lincolncentresource.com/

Varieties are anomalies that appear by die design or selection. If the die is hub doubled, then it will produce doubled die coins from start to finish. If the Obverse design is paired with an incorrect Reverse design, it will produce transitional coins (e.g. when the current reverse dies wear out and can't be used any longer, the mint decides to use another die: proof or next year's design to close out the year). Changing the font on the mint mark is another popular example (when they were hand stamped). The 1982 LMC is a good example of multiple varieties for a given year (7). It involved large and small dates, and different planchets (zinc/copper vs. copper)

Error coins are coining/minting process issues. Misaligned dies, clashes, Cuds, brockage items are but a few. Error coins are produced until the operator makes an adjustment to correct the process. It can happen at any point during the coining process but usually not for the entire run.

Thanks for the helpful; information and link.

I think my coin may be a 1964 WDDR-098

Here are some pictures. The die markers are pointed to by purple arrows. There is a die scratch in the D of UNITED. Another die scratch between the first U and N of UNUM. I welcome your feedback.

Oh ok, I'll have to check that out. Do you think I got this one right as far as being 1964 WDDR-098?
