So here while back I had an opportunity to buy some really nice BU rolls of Jefferson nickels. I got to looking for the D over horizontal D and started noticing what I am thinking may be some doubling and not just Die Deterioration or Machine Doubling. I need some schooling on what I am really seening if not doubling. The E in WE, the S in States and a few other places. Thanks in advance!
Well first off, I see a 1959-D Nickel instead of a 1958-D. http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...%201959D.htm There are two on V.V. But take a look at them? Note that Just like doubled dies, the RPM makes the mintmark larger than normal. Yours look normal in side, but with had a hit on the top of the mintmark, or MD. I'm just seeing a normal coin from the images provided. The 'E' Looks like a die scratch. (not a DDO as the scratch mark is nothing like the design of the die)
Thank you! I wasn't going to read into it to much due to I know they wouldn't be worth a whole lot unless it was undeniable. I am going through so many BU rolls I acquired and 1958 was on my mind when I posted this lol. Great attention to detail!
