Agree with Oijogja: it's a die clash. I'm also not sure why you see " DDO / DDR" on almost every coin you post. " DDO" is an acronym for doubled die obverse. " DDR" is an acronym for doubled die reverse. With few notable exceptions, coins usually will not have doubled dies on both sides.

Thanks really like this coin and is not a DDO / DDR when you can see 2 or more of a letter or a number if so then that's why I post them cause that's what I see

Jay, doubled dies are a specific form of doubling that does not encompass all doubling. It is far more rare than Machine Doubling, which is typically what one sees as doubling on coins. Sometimes doubling can simply be a trick of the light. Anyhow, that's why we're nitpicking about your use of DDO and DDR. Those are terms that imply something pretty specific.

Jay, I meant not to insult or provoke, but to nudge you in the right direction. Think about it: if you're finding so many doubled dies, are they really rare enough to be as valuable as they are? Are you really so lucky as to be finding so many doubled dies? Short of robbing a coin store, it would be highly improbable to come across so many doubled dies. Here is some reference material: http://doubleddie.com/58222.html That is John Wexler's section on true doubled dies. There is also a link on the left to "Worthless Doubling." I believe this covers machine/mechanical doubling (MD) and Die Deterioration Doubling ( DDD). At the bottom of the above link are links to doubled die listings of the various denominations. You can compare any " DDO / DDR" coins to Wexler's extensive catalogue of doubled dies there. I believe a listing of doubled die Jefferson nickels is maintained on another website, but Wexler provides a link to that as well. It's important also to know what a coin's design should look like. In one of your other threads, you say you see doubling on the columns of the Lincoln Memorial, but the fact is that there is doubling adjacent to four of the memorial's columns by design. Again, no insult intended, just helpful advice. If in doubt, scroll up and read the banner on the upper left: "Education is the key to collector success!"

Jay, there's a lot of good information here: http://www.error-ref.com/ It's all written by experts. Here's the section on doubled dies: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=doubled+diesI spent hours reading from that site -- can't remember it all but I now know where to look when I want to check something. Keep hunting. That clash is still a nice find!

You may get a couple of dollars for it but I would just hang on to it.
