livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2220 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 10:23 am I do not have a reference book for Shield nickels. Anyone know what repunched date variety this is? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 7:30 pm Doesn't appear to be a repunched date to me. Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2220 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 9:02 pm Thanks for responding. Maybe it's slight Machine Doubling on the right edge of the numbers or the photo angle and shadows are fooling my eye and there's nothing there. Here's another 1869 5c that is more obvious.

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 05/11/2020 2:20 pm The first coin I thought had a shot at being a RPD, but it is not listed in Howard Spindel's Shield nickel Viewer. It may be Machine Doubling. The second coin is definitely Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/15/2020 9:01 pm with Conder101 the second coin is definitely a RPD, the first could be as well, I'm not sure, I'd like to see the close up photo the same as the second coin posted straight on with no tilt.

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2220 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 11:32 am I took lots of pics of the date on the first coin but my camera just wouldn't focus for a clear view. The doubling is slight on the right side of the numbers. Here is as good as I could get. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 12:13 pm I say Machine Doubling on both coins. Especially that second one. Notice how greatly the devices on the date are reduced? Machine Doubling reduces the size of the original device. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
