Xzact New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 12/09/2019 4:29 pm I was told this may be a OMM-004 and was also told that I should find what kind of doubling is located on the foundation of the Monticello. I'm guessing shift doubling! Report this Post to the Staff

Xzact New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 12/13/2019 3:18 pm Is there a name for this type of coin error? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 12/13/2019 4:10 pm Other than a well circulated worn nickel, what are you seeing as an error? Report this Post to the Staff
Xzact New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 12/14/2019 8:26 pm I'm laughing definitely a worn coin! No, no errors I think this could only have been done intentionally. What I really want to know is, is this a rare variety? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2019 8:59 pm It is called a spender. A VLDS (Very-Late-Die-State) die struck the coin. (Note on the mintmark area the horizontal lines above and below the mintmark? Those are called die flow) A lot of circulation wear on this coin. When you get a chance check out Variety Vista to see what to be looking for on a variety coin. Then you will spot what to look for: Variety Vista has no listing for a DDO DDR for this year mint: http://varietyvista.com/04a%20JN%20...201955-D.htm RPMs: http://varietyvista.com/05%20JN%20R...%201955D.htm Looks these up and see what DDR or a RPM would look like this year/mint. On the DDR the spreads are harder to see on these. On the RPMs, note that the affected areas of the RPM are raised as high as the mintmark, enlarging the size of the mintmark. Get to know what to look for. We use maps all the time to know how to get to where we are going? Why not read on the variety sites, what to look for.
