This is my first "real" doubled die that I've found myself. I've got a couple War Nickels that I'm on the fence about but this one is too clear for any doubt. I have a decent size stash of old Jeffersons that I picked all the key dates and silver out of and had just sorted by decade. Since I had all the 39p's set aside (only one from the 30s I wasn't counting as key), I decided to take a look with the loupe. I had about 5 nickels left out of ~250 when I came across this beauty. I think I'm hooked.    |

It did. I almost didn't believe my eyes. I had to set it aside, calmly go through the last 5 nickels, and then stare at it for a while.

You know when you find a doubled die. There is no question about it. Most look tooooo hard to find something that is just not there. These just jump out an scream at you when you find them. nice find.

Very nice! I pulled one a few months back, unfortunately mine is discolored from having been in the ground, but is about the same condition otherwise.
