artstaz Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 11:33 am I have a 1947 Nickel that seems to be a DDO. Its on "GOD WE TRUST", "LIBERTY", and "1947" date. Please, let me know your thoughts. I tried to post the best pictures in which you can see the doubling or "split serif" and "notches" on the upper corners of "WE"/"TRUST"/ and "TY" on the word Liberty. The 1947 almost looks like it has doubling on the "4" and "7" as well? On "D" in GOD you can see a serif line taking place. This of coarse is my own observation. Thank you for youR input in helping me.... * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

These can be hard to determine but remember that the effects of Die Deterioration move outwards toward the rim. MD ALWAYS reduces the devices original size, sometimes extremely slight as here but it has cut into the devices. The rotation has actually "smeared" the device as it moved in a CW direction causing the perceived notching which is what had caught your eye!
