I’m with the field here. MD and DD.
Perhaps your LCS dumped a bunch? Still fun stacking LWCs!
This is the Small Date. Follow this link - 1974 Large and Small Dates (lincolncentresource.com) Note the gap between the devices and the rim....
I'll lean towards Machine Damage doubling. Shelflike appearance. True Doubled Dies can have MD... Here's a similar 1972 with MD and a closeup of...
A fellow enthusiast working the change struck silver today - Silver found in my change | Coin Talk Well done @BronzeAge ! Post in this thread...
Flip worthy nickel. But not slab worthy in my opinion.
Doublecheck your 1939 to see if you have the Type 1 (1938) or Type 2 (commonly referred to as the 1940) reverse design. Type 1 nickels are worth...
I don't think quite yet. Looks like MD to me. Look at the devices in the date. Any MD there?
Tricky stuff on these more desirable coins. Slabbing will authenticate the coin. But I agree that it won't straight grade. Randy raises the...

Nice!
I think the case has been made that it’s both. Jim’s comment regarding the migration of the devices is a useful tip! By looking just at the date,...
I was fortunate to have a LCS that had a bid board during the winter months. Local collectors posted coins and took bids. Most had reserves. Many...
As noted, these types of errors are reasonably available and reasonably priced. They are interesting pieces. I have a few myself...never paid...
Ed's estimates are consistent with what I've seen and paid. Certainly not $700...you would need a handful of them to fetch that much money.
Similarly, I got back into the hobby after decades away and started to learn about varieties and errors. It added a new dimension to the hobby...
Maybe. Clearer picture of the date would help.
If the field and the rim are affected, it’s very likely damage.
It’s uncommon to find a variety that’s worth a tidy sum. And then there’s the burden of finding a buyer. So the real ‘payout’ is in the search...
That’s a fun one to find! Nice!
