gabrielgabbey New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 12/01/2023 01:28 am Doing roll searching today, I came across an interesting nickel as there seems to be errors on both the obverse and reserve of the coin as they are located under the eye, on top of the nose, lip, underneath his chin and parts of the hair. For the reverse, I noticed 2 Cud errors on Monticello's rim, possibly DD on the letter O and on the mint mark. Hopefully the photos work, but let me know if I need to post any new ones. Definitely appreciate everyone's feedback/input. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6476 Posts	Posted 12/01/2023 08:48 am Your picture quality is really very good. The O shows Die Deterioration Doubling. The adjacent N actually shows it better. Over extended use, the face of the die begins to experience cold metal flow from striking hard metal coins. That is particularly true of nickels and clad coins, which have a 75% copper, 25% nickel composition. Nickel was used in WWII to harden steel tank armor. Anyway, the die face will slowly deform towards the rim of the coin and also towards any large cavities on the die. In the case of a Jefferson nickel reverse, that happens to be the Monticello building, which is a huge cavity in the die. The tops of the coin letters stay where they are as those are the bottom of the die pits, below where the surface metal is moving. Report this Post to the Staff
