CinM Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 2:59 pm Hello, I'm checking to see if this nickel has extra thickness (collar) and doubling (star / date) as well as Die Deterioration or is only the later or something else? I'd also like your take on whether doubling on VLDS coins and worn coins (...no FS here) are even worth keeping. Thanks everyone. Edited by CinM 08/14/2018 3:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 4:57 pm Most events are from the die showing its age. On the 5 on the date there appears to be some MD. The is probably what caused the look on the rim area as well. So a combo of events going on, but not a premium for any of them. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74674 Posts	Posted 08/14/2018 5:09 pm Your coin shows heavy Die Deterioration and Die Deterioration Doubling, caused by a worn die issue. The die was in a Very Late Die State (VLDS), when your coin was struck. Just a tired die almost ready for retirement soon. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
