Given the somewhat soft, washed-out photos posted, I'm not seeing doubling.

They look pretty normal to me.



to the CCF!

welcome to the forum. But from the images provided, the coin has been around a long time. But what would be noticed would be extra wide at the base of the devices. Sure the devices look wider, but given the time in the wild, it flattens the tops of the devices making them appear to be something they are not. The best thing to do is to go to PCGS and see what the coin looks like in the original condition. A lot think they see a doubled die, but it is often just the design on the nickel.

Note the vertical spread lines on these devices. We can see them easily on an uncirculated coin, but on a coin that has not had a good life may not show details as easily. Most of every one held back as they didn't see what you are seeing. Until we see something, we can make a suggestion. But with an absence of what your seeing, we can't even guess. Descriptions help fill in what your are seeing. Arrows point out where you are seeing it.

Note the bottom of the devices are thicker.

Note the 'T' on Liberty. That is part of the design on the 'T'.

Again note the bottoms of the devices. They are wider and is probably a doubled die because the devices are thicker on bases and lower part of the 'U'. With other images to compare with that are from an uncirculated coin, at least you have something to compare it with to see of they are hub doubled (doubled die) or machine doubled?
