sdlcoins New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/22/2016 2:04 pm Hey guys, I sent this 1866 w/Rays Shield nickel in to PCGS a few months back, and was wondering if I should resend it in for a variety designation. There looks to be doubling throughout the coin but I'm not too good in telling the difference between real and Machine Doubling. Any help appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
