Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6473 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 1:46 pm Short and sweet, an uncirculated specimen of 1954-S 5¢ FS-801 Doubled Die Reverse, which I think of as "crazy steps". The extremely misaligned steps can be seen above the NT of Monticello. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 1:53 pm This nickel was struck by a very worn set of dies. Not too sure why the steps look concave though. But I do see Progressive Indirect Design Transfer Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 08/25/2025 2:37 pm IMO progressive indirect die transfer (look that up at error-ref.com) has interfered with the normal look of the steps. Very nice nickel How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
