NocturnalJay Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 5:06 pm Found this nickel in pocket change. CONECA shows no 1977 Jefferson nickels with DDR. I see multiple areas of doubling on E PLURIBUS UNUM, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FIVE CENTS, and the right side of building. Thank you for taking the time to look, thoughts and comments welcome. I also have other pictures if needed. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 5:09 pm You are correct about seeing doubling, but it is not a Doubled die, it is a classic example of a Late Die State MD ( Machine Doubling) and DDD Die Deterioration Doubling. Good eye. Edited by Chase007 01/14/2019 5:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NocturnalJay Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 5:26 pm What about the separation of the lower lettering of UNITED STATES, particularly the Ts and the A? Are these still DDD? Also, is the erratic lines on top of the letters a give away of DDD? Edited by NocturnalJay 01/14/2019 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NocturnalJay Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 5:50 pm Another question. Do die deteriorate and a universal rate? The reason I ask is because the right side of the building. Some areas show doubling and other show the standard design. This is why I originally thought this coin was more than MD. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74875 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 6:03 pm Not a Doubled Die. Your coin shows Machine Doubling. The devices are reduced in size. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
