    It was in this like little box with a bunch of other pre 1964 coins. By the way is Die Deteriation Doubling a mint made error?

    Weird. I found another one like that but it has some other weird things.

    DDD, occurs when the dies used to strike coins are overused- the area around the devices and lettering begin to deteriorate away producing a shadow effect. It really isnt an error and does'nt command any premium, personally, I'd rather have coin without DDD than with it.

    its die chatter/ deterioration and its consider a die damage coin , i would put it in a 2x2 and mark it as doubled die deterioration , or you could send it to a grading company to see if theyll give it a slabb marking it as die det...

    The exact same thing as the first, I dont have any experience with Canadian coins, but I think it's safe to assume that the dies used for the 1945 nickels were overused.

    No around the D and A and a little on the 9. I have that 1951 coin.

    I don't see what you're talking about other than more DDD....

    Well that is pretty big like blob on the D and A and on the N it is a sorta triangle shape.
