Hey, was taking a closer look at my nickel and notices what like like a die chip or doubling on the 1 in 61 wondering if I'm seeing it right or if it's mayb just a slit in the one at the bottom  its the same nickel I posted before apparently really good condition. |

No doubling. Keep trying. Read the references that you were given that show what's doubling and what's not.

I'll try and get a better picture after work, I read about two different errors on this year. One was die chip on the date the other was doubling in my other post with the full coin you can see it and it looks more like a die chip, though with my zoom I can't tell if it's pdm or one of the errors.

It looks like a small chip to me from the photo and not doubling. Don't take everything on CaC at face value, including what they show as the narrative to the anomaly. Just do some study on errors, what they look like and how they happened if you are going to concentrate on them.

Iv been researching. And die chip on the 1 and or the 6 is reported. And I don't take everything the site says, just to looks for specific errors from specific years. As for how the error happens iv been reading the links sent to me. So this is possible die chip error? Or just damage on the one you think, one of the moderators said the coin looks like ms64 or something in another post with this coin because of the die polishing in this coin. If you haven't looked check out the other post with the 1961 nickel. You can see the chip/w.e it is in the photo but my finger is shading the area.

I am not an error collector, but try to answer questions put up on the site. A die chip is really not an "error", at least in my mind. Your coin, and with the discussion in a different subforum, is nowhere near an MS-64 .. maybe a 60-62 depending how the entire coin looks. Keep it as something that you found, but I don't think that there is much of a premium over 5 cents.

Ya I'm gonna try and get a better picture. You can look at the whole coin front and back in my other post. My photo is pretty bad on this post trying to get so close up. And even if it's the smallest error that dosnt add much or any premium it would be my first discovered error. It he kwl if I could find a double die or something but if it's a minor die chip still something. I'll have to look up die chip to see what makes it an error or not. But even without the die chip I like the over polished die (also learned over polished die isn't an error lol. But still don't see it on all coins and it leaves the mint looking like that so it's something. Old nickel possible die chip or something and over polished die,in Ms 60+ condition. Is a keeper for me lol so why is die chip not an error?

Again, I say read, read, read and study the collecting area that you want to know more about. You can't expect other people to do your lifting and ID'ing. That's what collecting is all about. It's not about having other people do the work for you.

I have been reading but as iv said in several other posts, I don't have great eyes, not horrible but I'm far sighted. So sometimes it's really hard to tell the difference from small specific errors to minir damage.

You just need to really study the pictures and photos in the references that have been given to you. Then compare them to what you see on a coin/coins and THEN decide yourself what you may have. You can't just wish that you will finally find a error and post any coin that even has an outside chance of being something. You should pay attention to what Jimmy D and JohnWayne007 ... 007 is the modern error guru and may help you along, but there's not many that will do all the legwork for you.

They are both very knowledgeable, that's why I ask what the s going on with a coin. I can clearly see metal that shouldn't be there so I ask about it, iv read some material on coins from the site but there is so much to go through. So as I see something like extra metal on a coin or possible doubling or die chip, that is saying what I know and asking opinions. Though you have been the only one to bother commenting so I appreciate it. I'm reading and posting and learning but I can't just become sure of myself. I ask because people here have years of info beyond what I'm reading now. So if my curiosity is a waste of anyone's time I apologize for you having to read a noobs post. And a year from now I'll still be a noob but I am interested so I post.
