Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74679 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 10:26 pm Yep. You got Die Deterioration Doubling on both sides. That die is starting to deteriorate. That's the sign of a tired die. It's been well used. Also, 1983 Nickels were notorious for having the dies being left in service for too long. Some of the strikes are very poor quality.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2019 10:32 pm Just a sever case of die deterioration/die wear on your nickel. While they look impressive, they are not a doubled die. Just a VLDS (Very Late Die State) when your coin was struck. Do can I tell? Note the devices are wider near the rim area and thinner at the part of the device towards the center. The heavy die flow on the fields. and the devices flowing into the rim area. The reverse die is a bit fresher than the obverse. (LDS) But an example of extreme die wear, not a doubled die. http://www.varietyvista.com/04b%20J...Listings.htm On the 1960-2003-D The last year there was a DDO was 1968. Nothing from Denver since then. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 02:56 am I believe the reverse was also struck with a very slightly misaligned die, causing the ridges you see on the rim to the north and west.
