    It isn't often that I get stumped by a Jefferson Nickel, but here we are. The 1946-D shown below has clear doubling all along the left side of Monticello and the mintmark is not normal.

    There are no known DDRs for this date that relate to doubling on Monticello, so I have to assume that it is machine doubling, but that doesn't explain the mintmark. It definitely isn't the D over inverted D, and it doesn't look like any of the RPMs listed on NGC or Variety Vista. Any insights as to what is going on with this coin would be appreciated.

    You might have to start checking die markers. It looks like an RPM to me.

    I think that D was kissed by a machine and shoved a little over.

    Very possible, it just doesn't seem to follow the same pattern as the monticello.
    What I am wondering though is the area in question raised? Or is it struck into the surface?

    I'm going with MD, Everything is moving to the west. Not that MD can't move multi directional, But to me this is classic MD. Also note the tilt of the MM is probably due to it being tilted when it was added at the mint.
