Modern U.S. proof coins are produce in their millions.
I may be worth considering that the doubling that we see
may have occurred during the transfer process from the working hub the working die.
I also note the the field below and between the bust and the adjacent rim is not mirror finished.
Interesting proof variety.

@sel_691 Thanks! I just cracked the case off the proof set to take these pictures too, they were still in sealed mint packaging but they were cheap to get so I didn't mind cracking the case open.

Bedrock. Are you suggesting this appears to be a doubled die?

Is it worth sending in for attribution? If so, who would I even send it to? I know Brians Varieties does nickels but what are my options with it? I'm almost shocked that almost nobody has replied to this lol help me out here guys

I agree with Sel_69.
It is an 1982 coin and in that time all proof coins was struck twice. Seem this doubling orientated all versus E adjacent SE.
An filtered picture could show better but it is hard to take, and the angle must be perfect perpendicular with the focus (90 deg.)
In my opinion it is a nice variety.

@silviosi Thank you for the reply, the information, and the opinion! Do you happen to know who/where I can send it to for attribution? I attempted to reach out to Brians Varieties to see about attribution but the mailer daemon informed me that their email account no longer exists so I'm not sure where else to send it. Does anybody else do nickels?

Coop do you happen to have your usual diagrams/pictures/informational content for this particular issue? I got 2 people saying its a variety so I'm really dumbfounded, I have no idea what I'm looking at lol
Also how does that explain the third doubling lines on the U's?

Me I say variety because when come to proof we expect perfect or near coins. It is recognized variety by the collectors? It is a question to answer. For me personally been proof it is a variety due to the fact is attributed to the printing mint process.
Value I do not know. Will be an 63 or better? also is hard to say because I see some strange lines.

I'm not concerned about the value, I am more interested in the knowledge. I love the "why" of things.

@petespockets I agree, like I said in the post there is definitely some MD going on in places, but better than half of it doesn't look like MD to me. Normally I just take coop at his word, but I also was hoping he had some reference material for what he thinks is going on with this coin so I can learn.
