Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 01:53 am I was just going through some coins, and as I was admiring the 1950 D nickel that CCF member jprine so generously sent me (among other things) for the 2016 secret Santa exchange, something caught my eye. I took a closer look, and I'm seeing what looks like a doubled die, most evident on the first T in TRUST. I realize that if this really is a DDO on the key of the series it would be a pretty big deal, and since I'm well aware of my own tendency to see what I want to see, I'd like some more experienced members to either confirm it or talk me back to my senses.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 02:55 am I also think you are looking way too close. What you see may be minor Die Deterioration effects due to natural metal flow during striking. I appreciate the nice pics, but it's not necessary. I don't see any clear indicators of a doubled die there. There are no 1950-D DDs listed, and I think they would have been found by now.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 04:17 am What you are seeing here is the effect of Die Deterioration from die wear. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 1:08 pm The coin is in VLDS, showing die wear towards the rim. Thus the heavy flow lines. But the coin is a keeper. It is a low mintage coin. That year the lower mintage was announced and a lot of rolls were saved. When you look up prices for this year the circulated coins prices don't show a big difference. All because more were saved in BU. If they had not of announced that the, the BU coins prices would have been higher. Report this Post to the Staff
