Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 2:19 pm I was looking through the coins for this Heritage Auction https://coins.ha.com/c/auction-home...913-interior and I found this coin. I've never seen a double struck coin like this one. Where the reverse was struck the second time there is no damage to the original design, just distortion. How did this happen? Also, as the coin isn't showing a date, how would they know that it's a 1968 proof? I guess it could have been submitted in the original government packaging, but even the coin description by Heritage questions the date. Here's the link to the coin https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/und...0160-92093.s The current bid is $2100 with buyer's premium and it's noted that this coin sold back in 2006 at Heritage for $4600. Quote: Possible 1968-S Double Struck Jefferson nickel Gem Proof Undated Proof Jefferson nickel -- Double Struck -- PR65 ANACS. The ANACS insert states that this piece is a 1968-S, but since the second strike completely overlaps the date and mintmark, we are not certain of its date or mintmark. It is the Reverse of 1970 subtype. The first strike is normal. The second strike is 45% off center toward 4:30. The second strike buckled the portion of the first strike uneffaced by the second strike. Light gold toning is present, and the clean surfaces appear conservatively graded. Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2006), lot 1973, which realized $4,600. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
