dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 01/20/2009 10:55 am here is my first ever double die, found from a roll of nickels, purchased from the bank. one question - is a double die, a mint error, or a mint variety. this coin has a clear doubling on the left side of the dome, and appears to continue all the wall to the left side of the building. can anyone help me with grade and/or value. is there anywhere I can see if this is an already documented DD. thanks. I am additing a different image of the reverse of this coin. hopefully it will be clearer to view. Edited by dbrablec 01/20/2009 3:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 01/20/2009 1:47 pm well I was told just a couple of days ago the diffrence is one is the machine stricking the coin twice " Machine Doubling" and the other is an error on the die itself thats why only a part of the coin will show a doubling effect. i am no expert and if I am wrong the experts will tell us let me find the link to a thread w/ some good pics Report this Post to the Staff
