    Is that a die clash to the right of the door on the Jefferson nickel?

    That first one looks hammer struck.

    TY above the R in Trust? But the T looks incused and Y is not... probably similar to those proported 'statues' in the Mars Curiosity pictures... just a random oddity. Then again, it looks like there might be something else on the rim to the left of the 'We'...

    cheerful16 Ikes! It's a load of Ikes!

    Try using manual focus on your camera... these pics are mostly too blurry to tell anything.
    1. PMD
    2. Shiny, but fuzzy nickel
    3. Wheat cent, possible poor man's Double Die, or could be a fuzzed picture
    4. the reverse of the prior
    5. a further back picture of the wheat from 3&4, still probably too fuzzy to tell DD
    6. the die for the latest pennies does this stupid "oF" thing instead of "of" or "OF"...nice strong strike though. You can see the statue pretty well. :)

    the first image i can almost swear i think other letters show when on my hand and seen upside down most differently.

    @cheerful16 im guessing. not much value there on any scale?

    @tommyc03 i saved that jefferson nickel coin after determining that reverse was too shiny and no sign of scratches that might of caused that line by the door to be pmd. i still have no clue if its legit or not but until now u mentioned die clash and looked it up and i think u might be right idk. i found this picture online and notice the first pic where the obverse shows on the reverse u can see that line hit the same place on my coins revrese just the line tho. any value? lol 40137821.jpg

    Well, for sure IF the pictures for the 1955 wheat are actually of a double die (DD) it's worth more than 1 cent. That year has known double dies listed in the PCGS price guide (http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=1&pr=1&sp=1&c=46&title=lincoln cent (wheat reverse)) BEFORE YOU GET EXCITED, this one does not seem to be more than a "poorman's DD" (barely noticeable, so it wouldn't fetch as much as they're suggesting. You can always check ebay to see what people have paid for them recently.

    Pricing in general too via the grading company is a handy reference:
    http://www.pcgs.com/prices/

    I'm not the person to ask about strong strikes, and it may be that the new die is just a great detail die. Surely I'd want to get that last penny in a mylar or NON-PVC sleeve to protect the good detail in the statue/bushes of the lincoln memorial.

    Best of luck!

    That's why you have to train yourself not to blink. I haven't blinked since 1993 so I don't miss much. I do seem to hallucinate a lot but I don't think that's related.
