allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 4:46 pm This 1999 P Jefferson nickel left me guessing especially on the obverse of the coin! The first thing I saw was the double mint mark and the doubling of the first 9 of the date. Then the Liberty looked like something rolled over the script and pushed on the bottom leaving a indent on the letters. And after I searched Variety Vista and Wexler's and found nothing on a doubled mint mark for that year, I believe it is a Die issue combined with Machine Doubling. I currently don't have any acetone to clean the large carbon spot on the obverse or the dirt on the reverse but It is an interesting coin so I hope someone looks at it and let's me know what happened or what they think, and as always regards.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 5:51 pm Agree DDO, and that's quite the black carbon spot, maybe India ink. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 6:07 pm That melted butter look is classic Die Deterioration Doubling. The smooshed letters at the bottom of Liberty could be some model of Coin Wrapping Machine scraping across the bottom of the letters. I think you can see scrapes on We Trust as well.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/14/2024 04:41 am allcoinsaregood, In what year did RPMs stop? That would tell you if it is an RPM or not. It looks like DDD as mentioned and a nice example. I do not think that black spot is carbon.I don't think acetone removes carbon spots. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 09/14/2024 12:19 pm that would be DDD - and maybe 'The Black Hole Sun'? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
