Hello Everyone; Not sure about this one! I know it's not MD. It's all raised metal, but it just looks a little different than what I've seen so far. Would this still be considered a DDR, or is it some sort of DDD? Looks to uniform to me to be die chips. I don't see anything like it on V.V. or B.V. Thoughts? Thank You.       |

I have seen this on many nickels. I believe it is Die Deterioration Doubling. I don't know that for a fact, though. It would be interesting to hear the pro take on that phenomenon. |

Brandmeister Bummer!  But you guys have been looking at coins a lot longer than I have. However, my curiosity has been piqued, so I might still send it  |

I wouldn't assume that I've been looking at coins for longer than you have. I only picked up coin collecting and variety hunting a couple years ago.
For the inexpensive submission fee at Wexler, I don't see a reason to hesitate sending it in. It's an educational experience for less than the price of a pint.

I am also leaning towards Die Deterioration Doubling but it does have an odd look to it. It kind of reminds me of the Lincoln Cent 1960's type 2 distended doubling, just not sure if that can happen with the newer single squeeze hubbing process. I would agree with Brand, low enough cost to find out. Good eye spotting this, regardless. ADDED: A link to check out what I was referring to about the Lincoln Cent doubling. Look at the lower (closest to the rim) parts of ONE CENT. LINK http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...0PDDR007.htm-makecents-

Brandmeister Packing up a few nickels to send off (and I knew you've been at this longer - I basically started in January - but I become obsessed with things when they catch my attention!  ) -makecents- Thank You! I'll post updates on the coins when they come back |

almost looks like the bar nickels but way not as extreme. But I think it is DDD as well though.. |

Dearborn, -makecents-, Brandmeister, Errers and Varietys, jbuck; Update...I sent this with a few other nickels for attribution. Results: "Die Abrasion Doubling" p.s. Brandmeister Quote:
I have seen this on many nickels. I've noticed quite a few after I sent it in!! |

Thanks for following up. This is one of those things that the pros are still divided on. Mike actually debunked die abrasion doubling but others still believe it is the cause. Error-Ref Link. https://www.error-ref.com/abrasion-doubling/-makecents-
