Gimson New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 5:48 pm Hello all, I was recently coin roll hunting and came across this nickel: I can definitely see doubling in the BERTY in liberty, and in the date. I'm not sure though, is this a real DDO coin or just die wear? Thoughts? I know the pictures aren't that clear, it's so small and I don't have a great camera. I'm going to try and get clearer pictures, and I'll post them if I can get them. Thanks! Edited by Gimson 08/26/2016 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 7:35 pm The Die Deterioration will cause the devices to spread out and the slight shift in tooling will cause that 'shelf' to appear adjacent to one side (normally) of a device. There may also be a die gouge by the date (9 and 8). No premium for this specimen. Experts will be along to render a final verdict. Good luck on the hunt! Report this Post to the Staff

Gimson New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 9:26 pm Thanks for all the replies! After doing some more research and looking at the coin some more, I agree. It does look like die wear and MD. I'm still quite new at coin collecting, and I was just excited to see something clearly doubled I didn't really know the differences between a MD coin and a DDO coin, so guess I learned something new today! Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again everybody. Report this Post to the Staff
