Having trouble determine DDO and DDR. My question is DD occurring on Jefferson's forehead? If not, what is it?   |

Hmm, when I blow up and enhance the region of interest, I don't see any doubling. Maybe you are talking about the bright line along the edge of the forehead due to lighting?  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

No sir, you can see it without magnifying glass. It looks just like what you see in the pic. Me being new to coin collecting doesn't help but I know this doesn't look like my other Jefferson nickels. |

Ok yes I understand. I know that you have said doubling on Jefferson's forehead, which narrows this down. Maybe add arrows to that specific area to help us? Sorry that I'm not being more helpful.

IMO the die shifted during striking.
And it looks mid- to late die state.

All the 2X die for '57 are proof, except 2, and I dont see the markers. The one obverse
has a noticible deep horizontal scratch through the '7'.

Called MD, machine damaged by the shifting/bounce of the die upon strike. True Hub doubling are PRODUCTS OF DIE MAKING, not coin production.

I only see Die Deterioration on the outer lettering, I don't see anything else that looks like doubling. |

Also have to figure in the age of the die. It is near VLDS die state at when your coin was stuck. Not a doubled die. Some die polishing can be isolated on an area. If it alters the outside line of the bust, taking it down a bit, this reduction will remover part of the field on that area. With that edge are of the bust weakened, the coins will have a raised area on the coins struck. No premium for this. Just a die event that affects the coins struck by it. Probably hundreds of thousands of these struck with this die before it was retired. You coin is one of them.  |
