King_theo New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 05:19 am I am not sure if my pictures of my coin are attached or not, but here goes.... I have a 1957-D Jefferson nickel; It looks as though the "57" has some doubling. Also at the left of the chin before the word "GOD" there are indentations that I want to think are mint errors. Can anyone help? Edited by King_theo 01/22/2022 05:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2951 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 06:16 am Looks more like die wear and general circulation to me accounting for the doubled appearance. Those marks in front of Jefferson are most likely dings made after minting. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2022 10:33 am Note all the affected areas are incuse. 99% of incuse marks are PSD. Yours fits in that category. If they were hub doubling on a die, they would be raised on the coin, as they are incuse on the die. If the die has a crack, they would show as a raised are in the coin. Any void on the die, like a chip or break, leaves a void on the die, raised on the coin. Damage is an innie on a coin. Damage/hub doubling is an innie in the die, but raised on a coin. Just how it works. Report this Post to the Staff
