fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3622 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 9:14 pm There are no listed DDOs for the 1937-D Buffalo nickel. This coin has pretty sharp doubling that is readily visible to the unaided eye. My instincts tell me this should turn out to be MD, but some of what I am seeing doesn't look like MD. The doubling on the feathers and back of the neck is rather sharp. That and the doubling on the date and braid do not look to diminish the size of the numerals or the devices. On the other hand, the doubling on LIBERTY (especially the "E") looks more like MD. I know it's possible to have both die doubling and MD on the same coin, but I think this will be all-or-nothing from what I am seeing. I'd welcome and appreciate feedback. Thanks! Here are the obligatory mug shots: Here are the obverse doubling shots: Here are the eye, lips, and chin (with evident abrasions to abrade the common die clash marks): Here is a reverse closeup to show the mm position, in case somebody has a comparison coin: Report this Post to the Staff

I own this in PCGS MS65 as well as a 1934 D DDO in PCI (early green label) MS65, and the finest known 1915 DDO. The doubling is all indistinguishable between them. There is no question it's an unlisted DDO. Edited by Gremlin13 10/29/2020 08:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5820 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 9:42 pm Looks more like MD than DD. I thought there was a notch under the E of LIBERTY, but looking further its more like it took a hit. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 10/29/2020 11:27 pm This is Machine Doubling. A lot of the Buffalo nickel doubled dies are just extra thickness or doubling on the eye. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
