2007 P Jefferson Nickel Reverse Error?

Hahaha...sorry about the penny, I thought I had selected another pic, so I'll remove it...some of the lettering on the reverse of the nickel looks like they were perhaps doubled...totally unsure, but yeah, the circulation wear is apparent without the zooming, but the camera flash may have hindered some of the visuals...I'll see if I can get some cleaner shots...I have a coin scope for the phone coming in the mail soon...until then,I'll try and get something better to look at

Yes, lots of sloppy looking nickels out there. When I first got a scope it took me awhile to get pics without glare. Try using either natural light or shine artificial light through a piece of paper so the light is scattered. And, welcome to the group.

To CCF!

@meth, first welcome to CCF. Second, I do see what appears to be a little Die Deterioration Doubling on some of the letters, such as R and I of AMERICA. As @nick10 pointed out, glare from multiple light sources can also make it look like there is doubling.

to the CCF!

Since it costs banks to supply coinage I make coin requests only after doing another transaction so that the teller is reminded I'm a customer. I've never requested more than one box per visit.

After having searched a number of boxes the boxes started feeling like too much work so now I ask for just a few rolls. If you find a bank that's helpful to you, bring a small gift to the tellers during holiday season, something they all can share like a nice box of food or candy or similar. Since few people do that the tellers will remember you fondly during the following year, and might save you interesting coins they see come in. Be polite and friendly and you'll be rewarded.

As for denomination, lots of people search halves for 1970 and earlier coins with silver. That supply of silver is diminishing due to those efforts so you won't find as much silver as you would have 10 years ago.

If you like finding older coins, nickels are your best bet. You can even assemble a full set of Jeffersons from 1938 to present, though I'd estimate it will take you upwards of 100 boxes (200,000 coins) for all the key dates. After such an undertaking you will be able to correctly guess the date, within 1 year, of a nickel simply by looking at its reverse.

Quarters will net you low mintage coins but with so many designs during the past 20 years it's tough to develop the skill to quickly spot unusual examples.

I'd say choose the denomination that seems like most fun to you. You can always switch to a different one during the next bank visit.
