CoinHunter4 Pillar of the Community United States 1086 Posts	Posted 10/20/2021 1:44 pm Hello all! I have a 1942 War Nickel that has some interesting things going on, it has what looks like doubling on the 2 in the date and the Y in Liberty. Do you guys think maybe it is doubling? Or just damage and lamination issues. Thanks a ton for your opinions! Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 10/20/2021 2:12 pm I think the tops of the 2 and Y are the result of hits (damage), and the lower part of the Y is Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2021 2:38 pm Note the opposite sides of those areas? Note how they are smaller on that side? The coin was damaged along the way. Just like a wrecked car, you can blame the maker of this coin. Edited by coop 10/20/2021 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
