Tmoney11 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Looking for opinions on issue with this Jefferson Nickel. Just worn and bad shape? Or minting process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neophyte Numismatist Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Both. Your coin is worn, and not in the best shape. Your coin also appears to exhibit some mechanical doubling (a form or "worthless doubling" and is not a doubled die). Here is a link to Wexler's if you are inclined to study it to tell the difference for yourself: https://doubleddie.com/144822.html#:~:text=Unlike genuine doubled dies for,the coin is being struck. Forum - if you agree with my answer, simply "like" the response as opposed to continuously repeating responses and bumping the thread. I will try to do the same.

Popular Post Greenstang Posted June 19 Popular Post Share Posted June 19 Aside from Mechanical Doubling, it also suffers from Die Deterioration caused by a worn die. The Neophyte Numismatist, Tmoney11 and Sandon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Looks like Die Deterioration doubling to me. You can see the metal flow lines towards the rim which is a good indication that the coin was struck with worn out dies. Also it has some pretty good circulation issues.
