1989 Jefferson Nickel-Double Rim Obverse

Hi guys,

I have this 1989 P Jefferson Nickel and would like to know what is happening with the obverse rim on the right side? To see such a large double rim on a nickel seems unusual. Is this considered a MAD? If so, why do other MAD's on Nickels have a flat wide rim?

Its a railroad rim and I also see some rim cuds,decent nickel.

 

Misaligned die or MAD.

Here's an earlier post of a nickel that looks to have a triple rim.

I suppose the look depends on how far the die is out of alignment.

 

Isn't a railroad rim just another name for partial collar?

Edit:

 

That's the upset rim showing, the collar didn't cover it all.

 

That's correct.

The Nickel is just a Misaligned Die Strike. Not a Railroad rim.

 

do you see doubling around Jeffersons nose and mouth ? or is that just glare?

 

It's strike doubling.

 

A Mis aligned die also causes finned rims. Finned rims will fold over and look like little rim cuds.
