Mrf2254 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 8:29 pm Hello Coiners, Can someone tell me if there is doubling on my 1960P Nickel? Specifically, on all letters and numbers, obverse and reverse. I have not posted in quite some time, so it has taken me the better part of the day to compose this very post, with pictures (retaken and edited numerous times . Please let me know if any photos are unclear. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 8:57 pm @mrf, glad to have you back and posting again. I'm not seeing split serifs, so this doubling seems to be Machine Doubling rather than a doubled die.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 9:36 pm Definitely not a doubled die, but disagree with Spence's diagnosis of MD. Looks like Die Deterioration Doubling to me. Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 9:58 pm I'd say DDD and some MD too, but neither is the rare kind of doubling to photo a whole coin, try moving your scope farther from the coin, such as by puting some books under it Report this Post to the Staff

Mrf2254 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 10:52 pm Tomorrow, I will be able to add full pics of both sides of this coin - but I have added another pic of ERTY, the T is what I suspect as doubling, but I do not, and have never, known for sure about doubled dies.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 12:57 am Additional pics are not needed. It isn't a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/15/2023 2:29 pm Just extreme die wear. Not a doubled die. When the die was younger, it was normal. Now that the die is aged, it is striking coin like yours hundreds of thousands of times. If it were a doubled die, then all the coins struck with that die would be showing the same hub doubling from coin number one. Just wrinkles on a senior die. Report this Post to the Staff
