Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 7:34 pm Certainly looks like it could be, especially since it is located towards the center of the coin. If you go to the PCGS home page for 1971s proof nickels the main coin they highlight looks like it has something similar. So it might be a design anomaly that year?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 7:48 pm The problem is the year. On the single squeeze dies that area is affected. But this is a 1971-S nickel. It was made with the multi hub system. So that area is not affected on those doubled die. These dies were only used 6,000 times before they were retired. So why that area looks so bad for die condition, is beyond me? I wonder it was a worn hub issue that created that die like that. Probably one I need to check into to see if was a common issue that year? Edited by coop 04/23/2020 8:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 7:57 pm My 1971-S proof nickel has this as well. It's not easy to see in these pics, but it's actually 2-3 parallel incuse lines just inside the doorway. It looks like re-engraving done to the master die, similar to what Wiles/CONECA believes the 1972 LMC "doubled master die" to be. Report this Post to the Staff
