@cel, first welcome to CCF. Second, rather than being a doubled die, it looks to me like you have Machine Doubling on both sides of this nickel. This type doesn't add to the numismatic value, although yours is a nice example. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 to the CCF I agree with Spence that it is Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling. |

MD An easy way to get immediate answers as to whether you have a doubled die, RPM, or OMM. Find them all listed here: www.varietyvista.com Scroll down, find the e-book for the coin you are looking for and take the links. If yours is not listed then you probably have non-collectable doubling such as Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling (search these topics on this forum and at error-ref.com). |

Yes, a very nice example of Machine Doubling. Suggest keeping it as a reference piece. |

Also answers a question I had about a 1969 S penny I have. Looks very similar to this nickel. Learning lots. Thank you.  |

to the CCF and  Your cent is MD also. One thing to remember is that if you think you have a coin with doubling on both sides, you probably have neither. DD on both sides is very rare. It's MD, lighting or DDD. |
