1959D Jeff 5c...Anyone seen this before?

[vumc409]

Calling all doubling/variety experts...particularly those knowledgeable about Jefferson Nickels.

 

I was putting some circulated coins into Whitman albums today and came across this.

 

It appears to me this is some sort of date doubling. The "59" in the date are the suspect characters here. As it appears to me, there is definitely a small 5 stamped below the prominent 5 (all of the loop, half of the stem and the tip of the cross bar are visible on this small 5). I think I can also detect a faint hint of a complete 9 stamped over as well. I think both the stem and the loop are present but the stem seems to be more well defined.

 

I have taken a few pics I'll post here but they are not as good as I had hoped. I have the original high res pics I can email to anyone wanting them. You can see what I am talking about but obviously not like having it in hand. I discovered what ever this is using a 10x glass.

 

I'll be glad to send it to one of you variety or nickel gurus for comment if necessary.

 

Thanks ahead of time for any information.

I am not seeing it unless I am blind. Maybe machine doubling

The only thing I see going on is some good old machine doubling. Or possibly abraded die doubling, which is what happens when the die gets worn out. I do not see any real Hub doubling.
