Jfanth Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 All the letters on this nickel look like this. Is this mechanical doubling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Greenstang Posted March 31 Popular Post Share Posted March 31 The same as your 2008 nickel that is severe DDD from a very worn die. Jfanth, powermad5000 and Sandon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VKurtB Posted March 31 Popular Post Share Posted March 31 DDD = Die deterioration doubling. It comes from overuse of a die. It is poor quality control, not a variety nor an error. powermad5000, Jfanth and Sandon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I concur with the others on the abnormalities on this nickel. It also looks like possibly the dies were also loose to produce that kind of twisting motion to it. Full cropped images of both sides of the coin would also be useful in determining these characteristics overall which were not provided by the OP.

Mike Meenderink Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Die deterioration doubling with a loose hub causing chatter just a crappy made coin no extra collector value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieR131 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 J P M You are getting old. Not wavy, it's 'groovy' in the 'Incense and Peppermints' flower child world. Just ask the Axis, he knows everything. :) J P M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
