Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75082 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 01:45 am Your Nickel shows severe Die Deterioration Doubling, caused by a very worn tired out die. The die was in a Very Late Die State (VLDS) when it struck your coin. This is a die wear issue. You can see the mushy details, and the heavy die flow lines going outwards. This die is at the end of its life, and should be retired now. There's no premium over face value for this, but you can keep it as a learning piece. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...ion-doubling Errers and Varietys.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 11:52 am So what it is is both Die Deterioration and Machine Doubling. A double whammy, but not worth a premium. More of knowing what it is thing. Report this Post to the Staff
