obvious doubling, Are these keepers?

Not seeing it. Tell us what you want us to look at.

 

Where is that "obvious" doubling at? I'm not seeing it.

 

Again, not doubling...

 

The t is rotated and under the y and the r is the same but under the t and so on with the other letters in liberty and date, on the 1946, and I believe the curl in the rim it's the top of the 6, should I nic them to show out better, maybe nothing on the 1955

 

Nothing on either of them man. Sorry.

 

I don't see any doubling, either. Please bear in mind, that condition plays a big role in the value of any coin whether it is a variety or not. Even though these coins are 60-70 years old, the condition is not good enough to make them worth the cost of 2x2's & staples.

I think you need to visit some coin shops and/or coin shows and look at varieties in hand, because you seem to be striking out more than anything.

I'm not striking out I'm learning just learning and don't have the means at the time to frequent shows or shops, and if any one on this post says there isn't doubling on the 1946 then they are wrong and Are teaching me wrong cause there is whether it be worthless or not cause from what I'm reading on the links y'all have provided no matter what if there it's two images on the coin its some type of doubling. Thank you Chris for not blocking me you seem to be the one to pay attention to

 

You'll have to show me the doubling as all I see is a well used nickel.

 

You don't have to buy anything when you go to the shows or shops. Just go in and browse--get familiar with the areas of numismatics that interest you most by looking at coins and asking dealers questions.

 

If you are truly interested in learning, I highly and strongly suggest you buy a book or two (and read them, of course). This will provide you far more information than just blindly looking at coins.

There are numerous threads on here about which books we recommend.

 

There is only one type of doubling that is worth anything, and that is hub doubling. Any other form of doubling, whether it is machine doubling, mechanical doubling, strike doubling or ejection doubling adds no value to the coin and is very common.

I don't see any doubling on these.

 

First finger"black" pointing at a portion of doubled rotated R. Second finger"white" pointing at rotated double of T, first Arrow pointing at right extension of T, 3rd finger also "white" pointing at front portion of the curve of the 9, second arrow pointing at inner portion of the front of the curve in the 9, sorry for the crude editing software for my busted LG android phone, I've never had the fortune of owning a computer.

 

I see no doubling on either of them.....

 

Give it up! The only thing that is there is 69 years of circulated wear and tear. If you continue to persist, the only thing you will accomplish is to alienate yourself from everyone who might listen to you. Like I said before, you need to learn more about the minting process!

I think what you are seeing might be die erosion.

 

Think about it. If that was doubling, every letter in that word would be doubled. How could the T and Y get rotated that far over without everything else being rotated? It's not doubling. Maybe there was some debris on the die, struck through?

 

This brings up a question. I was just reading about the types of doubling. Take the 1984 Lincoln Cent. How can the ear have such doubling on the lobe without the entire portrait of Lincoln being doubled to the same extreme?
