1958 5 Cent Nickel, Doubled Die Obverse

Hopefully I have no issues uploading photos for this but I am currently in the process of documenting a 1958 Doubled Die Obverse I recently found and thought I would share it with the forum.

Here, you see the "GRA" of "GRATIA"

if you look on the bottom right of the "G" you will see a notch. In the same locations on the "R" and "A" you will also see notches, this is not what a normal obverse legend is suppose to look like.




Here is "DEI" and if you look on the bottom right of the "I" there is also a notch, all of the letters "I" in the legend have this same notch.





Close ups of some of the letters.

"I" in "DEI" again



"R" in "GRATIA"



"A" in "GRATIA", all of the letters "A" in the legend also have the same notches.




If you compare these with another 1958 nickel you will notice that they do not look the same, not only is there notching on almost all of the letters on the obverse, you will also notice that the devices are also a lot thicker than that of a normal 1958 5 cent nickel.
