Very nice doubled die. Now the challenge is to find a die number for it. There are over 100 different proof 1964 DDRs.

Looks like the M & O are tripled to me? That might thin it down some.

I believe you have found one of the very best of the many doubled die 1964 proof varieties. This is 1964 PR WDDR-033 Class V Pivoted Hub Doubling Very strong tripling shows on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FIVE CENTS and MONTICELLO from a CW pivot near the rim at 1 o'clock. Doubling shows on E PLURIBUS UNUM decreasing from left to right toward the pivot. No obverse die markers noted. Reverse should show a short die gouge between the L and U of PURIBUS and a dot south of second U of PLURIBUS. Mike Ellis discovered and submitted this. It is a very significant doubled die variety and considered VERY RARE. Values are higher than most as there are many different 1964 doubled die proofs. In Wexler and Ribar Best of the Jefferson nickel Doubled Die Varieties 2nd edition book I have it says PR60 $75.00 PR63 $100.00 PR65 $150.00 Yours looks like a dazzler. Congrats! There is a way to cross reference this Wexler number. I will let you look. Tell me if I have nailed this as I learned something new too. CONECA has it as DDR-024 Here's a link http://www.conecaonline.org/content...9.html#_1964I love that nickel, super find! This is not a copy and paste reply, I typed it up from the book. Edited by TNG

That's what I call CCF style! Yes I collect Nickels and study them. I am pretty good on Jefferson's, I looked at quite a few. I am going to start concentrating on Buffalo nickels next and try to learn what I can about that series. One thing about Jefferson nickels, there is an almost bottomless pit on varieties, strikes, and mint marks. I have discovered a few things on my own, later to find somebody else has done the same. There comes a time I think when it is finally completed, no collection is ever entirely complete, but mine is almost complete for me. There are only a small number of nickels that I still watch out for. I want to start sitting down sometime and look at them and enjoy the collection for what I accomplished. I would be very happy to add your nickel to my collection. I do not think I would have that one. That is so kind of you. Perhaps I'll have a Lincoln Cent to return the favor. I really enjoy when people help each other out on the forum. Thank you! PM sent. |

Not meaning to hijack the thread but I think 909's coin is identified. rockdude wrote me with a question about a 1962 doubled die and gave me these images. Lets see if I can find this one. There's a bazillion of 1962 DDO and DDR varieties too.   |

Luck would be on our side. This happens to be ( in my opinion ) 1962 WDDR-001 Class II Distorted Hub Doubling If you look on the obverse you should find diagonal die scratches running from 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock holding the date southg. The series of scratches should run under the loop of 6 on the date to under the base of the two. What helps is the die scratch on the reverse going across the top part of M and O in MONTICELLO The rest of the doubling looks correct. Now, your images are very limited as far as focal area. Please use a glass and look at the date. I am going to guess this coin is in AU condition. It is very significant doubling and considered rare. Not as hard to find as the other coin in this post above. Values in my book show. XF $8.00 AU $15.00 MS60 $20.00 MS63 $30.00 MS65 $50.00 This was discovered and reported by by John Wexler. The cross reference would be. http://conecaonline.org/variety_listings.htmlthen http://www.conecaonline.org/content...9621963.htmllook at the descriptions for DDR-001 DDR-002 DDR-003 DDR-004 all discovered by Wexler. Try to see what you have. I don't go out of my way to collect these that much but I'd hate to give one away and not have looked closer. I have a small number of Jefferson Doubled Dies, most important one is the quadruple die reverse 1955 Proof slabbed. I like them but I really prefer the more dramatic. These two are nice examples. Some doubled dies are so minor I couldn't care less for them. |
