cherrypickSandi New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 3:27 pm I found this nickel today and it looks doubled on the P. The date is pretty damaged from circulation but could be doubled as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 3:29 pm Not damage. That's called Die Deterioration Doubling. It's caused by a worn die issue, from striking a ton of planchets at the U.S Mint. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
cherrypickSandi New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 3:32 pm How do you tell Die Deterioration? Does it have to do with how spread out the P is? Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7059 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 6:29 pm @ EnV Could the mint mark on the die been filled with some amount of grease to cause the metal that would have been taken up by a complete mint mark flow around it? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/29/2019 6:31 pm To me it's looks like a combination of Die Deterioration and Machine Doubling. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
