2 Strange Jefferson Nickels 1962 DDR? + 1960 DDO w/ Chunks of Extra Metal and Gouges?

Hello,

Found these 2 very strange Jefferson Nickels in my bi-weekly coin checking of coin rolls I get from the bank.

First up, I've got this 1962 Jefferson Nickel that has Doubling in "Pluribus Unum" and also has slight doubling in "Monticello" at the bottom of the Monticello Building, creating another "Step" along the Bottom. Here's some pics - they were too large to upload here and I'm not sure how to compress them, so I've uploaded them to Photbucket here:

The 2nd Jefferson I found is a 1960 - This Coin has extra "Blobs" of Metal and Gouges which appear to Not Be Due to Wear on multiple points on the Obverse. It also has Doubling in "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" on the Obverse as Well. This is one of the strangest coins I've ever come across. Pics can be seen here:

Any input or help on these would be greatly appreciated. I have the CherryPickers Guides, but nothing like either of these is listed. Thanks in advance for any insight!

John

worn and damaged die? I am real experienced with coin errors, but I have a little time in the tool room of a die and stamping shop.

 

I'm going to say strike doubling on both coins, with the second one having some environmental damage as well.

(I have no idea if I'm even in the right ballpark, so take that for what it's worth.)

 

John both are MD (machine/mechanical doubling).
The blobs appear to be PMD.

 

1962 ddr

Can't tell much by the pic here are some I found looking at rolls.

 

i give you $0.041/2 cent for one???

 

That looks like the real deal to me! Nice looking DDR IMO

 

@Kushmeja-Take a look at the pics that Type2 posted of a nickel with a DDR. Notice the notching at the ends of the letters. This is a good indicator for a doubled die. The nickel that you posted does not have the separation and is machine doubling.
