Richard, this is a nice coin. Paddy is really good at Nickels and I would listen to what he says when it comes to them. (I have a lot of respect for his knowledge) I see you sent an email to Wiles.. if you dont hear back let me know and I will call him regarding this.

 

Ok, thanks Jim ......

 

Rick pulled this one out to show you. An 1942 S Ya think they got their money's worth out of this die? I know some that would say that's been cleaned ....no just polished to death..... the die that is.

 

That crack in the hair, looks like the Nile River ....
I did here from Mr. Wiles and he thinks it could be the MDO, so I asked him about the master doubling and how far it's goes around the coin ...

 

Thanks Jim for your confidence and the post above. I wish I could say definitely it's not MD however I cannot . Now that I've have had some time to relax and my eyes are not so tired..... I have studied several nickels and found the same sort of doubling . Some looks shelf like others don't . One reason I posted the coin above is to prove a point. The point is that these dies were worked hard. Even though they struck softer blanks (copper/silver/manganese ) .
Looking at your images comparing them to mine I'm more in the MD and die deterioration as a cause.
Even though some of the doubling doesn't look shelf like.
However I will say this anything is possible with the war nickel series. Look at the 43 P alone has over 75 known rpm's . I wouldn't discount your find completely I be very happy to be proven wrong in this case.

 

Right now according to Mr. Wiles, he thinks it MDO ( Master Die Obverse ) . But according to the Coneca Charts, that runs K through 8 ..

 

Here's the message I received from Mr. Wiles:

Richard:
All I see is the MDO. I have suspended my attribution services until Sept. 1, 2016, due to summer activities. I would be happy at that time to give it a first hand look.
Thanks,
James Wiles

 

Here's mine which Mr. Wiles confirms as a MDO

 

I had the one I own at the fun show a couple of weeks ago and it's DDO-001 from Coneca . You need to check the bottom of that " D " ( mint-mark ) the bottom looks doubled .

 

I just went through the threads and the images on some are different now, then the one I have . I'll post them .

 

Here's some shots of the "D" that I took with my Dino-Lite

 

Looks like RPM-008 from this image


Here's an image from coneca on RPM-008
