This is from a 1964 Jefferson nickel and looks like it could be a RPM over a slightly rotated D. I couldn't match it to any of the examples on varietyvista. The coin is worn and damaged to the point I normally wouldn't have even bothered looking at it but I'm trying to expand my horizons into the variety world, lol. It's taken it's fair share of hits but I couldn't explain the upper part of the D away as damage. What do y'all think, damaged or RPM?
The mint mark is definitely damaged but it still looks like a rpm to me but then, I’m not a collector of those.
It has some interesting damage in places around the rim on the reverse that I mistook for cuds at first but turned out to be displaced metal from damage. Even the obverse showed signs of what I thought was possibly a die crack along the upper portion of the lettering near the rim which was also damage. Overall it's turned out to be pretty disappointing, lol Basically I was just wondering if the MM was actually what it looked like out of curiosity.
Not an rpm ...even if it was the value still be a nickel. 1964 as well 1964 D were the highest mintages of all Jeffersons... in order for a 64 P or D nickel it would need be a ms 70 full steps...and thevway they slamed those dies good luck finding one.... its a spender...return it to the wild.
Hey one always checks out something like that...there's alway a chance of a new find. The 1919 Mercury Dime doubled die what it took just about 100 years before it was discovered.
To me that would be the ultimate collector's dream, to find something new that no one had ever seen before.
