Sorry, but it is a damaged mint mark. Thanks, Bill
Sorry guys, N1tot has a doubled die. The first coin in the thread is victimized by die deterioration as well as machine doubling. Thanks, Bill
Yep, it's normal.... Thanks, Bill
I agree, It's die deterioration doubling and on nickels, it can be very deceptive. I am not trying to be rude but you need to study what a...
This one doesn't have a 7 visible. Also, it is the 1918/1917 D that is known. I am not aware of such a die variety on a P mint five-cent coin....
The top coin looks like it was damaged by the reeding of another coin coming in contact with that one. We call them contact marks or in the "old"...
Hi, I'll be the first to change my response if I can see the extra portions of trees that you are trying to show. The images provided are just...
Let's turn this around for a second. If you can see how filled dies caused the T and the weak S, Why not the L? Often the easiest and most...

Not A DDO....again machine doubling on the last digit.
It's not a doubled die. It is a form of machine doubling.
yep, It's a bubble in the plating.
The coin has a full rim around the circumference that completely rules out a misaligned die scenario to a point where letters would be missing....
The obverse was struck through grease. The reverse shows no evidence of doubled trees other than the machine doubling.
Hi Lehigh, I understand why they did it. Going back to the other side of the question though. Didn't adding the 5FS take away from the game a...
It was not so much a reality check but a "teaching moment" for those who were not aware of this:-) have Fun, Bill
They are indeed die chips. Small pieces of the die will chip and fall away. When a portion of the die falls away, it leaves a depression in the...
That coin is a mess. Two coins were glued together and then separated. It's not an error of any kind. Thanks, Bill
Separate names with a comma.
