1945 P Jefferson

[Davids5104]

Found this in a jefferson nickel set.  I believe it may be DDR-004.  The MM doubling is quite profound.  The last O in monticello is doubled and every letter of "US of A"

Nice images, do the die cracks match?

David,

 Not to sound bad but I think you have more of a mushy die deterioration doubling.

Great image, but I see strike doubling. 

[Davids5104]

these are the front die cracks I can see.  the die crack is visible but not nearly as obvious as the example you gave.  Also i do not see evidence of the die crack above his head as in your example, but the same starting point and slope exists

Wooden, you linked the DDO

 

I feel no on DDR-004, but suspect it could be DDR-005, although it is looks late die state with some machine ejection doubling

i am very sure that what you have here is just a machine doubling and not a double die. if you do a side by side comparison with a none slab Double Die coin you be able to tell the difference, the DD is a solid die it looks like there is two letters together one on top of the other were a machine doubling the letters look like there were squash and flat. i dont know if this make since to you, but i dont know if you ever heard about the Wexler Coin Die page? it has the best info you could get with pictures and all plus they have a great listing for machine doublings

i think you may be right; none of the 10 DDR looks like mine.

I think I see split upper left serifs on the F and N of five cents, but very minor.
