cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 03/29/2010 2:17 pm I was looking through some of my Rabbit Nickles and I found this one. Would this be a case of extreme die fatigue doubling? Around the lettering "D G REGINA" The doubling is more pronounced then on the lettering "ELIZABETH II". There is also doubling of the facial features and neck line. Doubling is present on the eye, eye lid, nose, lips, chin and neck as well as the crown. Basically all the outlining features of the obverse are doubled. The reverse shows no sign of doubling. I hope the pictures are up to par. Crown: D G REGINA Doubling (Shows the D G R. Could not fit it all in Microscope view): ELIZABETH Doubling (Again...small field of view on microscope. Not as pronounced as on the D G Regina side) Facial Features Doubling: Is it possible that the facial doubling is just that, doubling and not die fatigue doubling. I have very limited knowledge in this area (extreme novice ) and would appreciate opinions from more knowledgeable members. Thank you in advance. cladhunter13 Report this Post to the Staff

I can not be held responsible for spelling after 1:00AM. My lens was as focused as I could get it. I was using a 45X Microscope loupe. The batteries went dead on me and my new batteries should arrive in the mail soon. Until then I'm using a secondary light source for lighting. The coin does not appear to be tampered with in any way. The pictures do not do the doubling justice. I wish I had a better digital camera to show the coin close up in one shot. I will see if I can get a complete image with my POS camera. I checked all my other Rabbit Nickels and this was the only specimen I had. Any other opinions? Thank you, cladhunter13 Report this Post to the Staff
