Great fun finding a dump!!! I landed a couple dumps of 60s nickels over the years and found many DDO/DDR specimens!! I ended up with entire...
@RBurk You may have a discovery piece. I took a look at Wexler's listings, Coppercoins, and Variety Vista. I don't see a match and while -048 is...
I agree -48 has similarities. Let me look into this some. I was trying to do it from my phone...not the right tool for the job.
Likely experience. You’ll pick of ‘tells’ over time. Usually things that repeat themselves and begin to become apparent. Certain conditions lend...
Looks like a DDO but you’ll have to figure out which one.
Exposure to the elements. Looks like the plating/substrate are separating and creating a visual anomaly.
I essentially made that reference when referring to the 5 piece Morgan set/Scarface. To your point, it is what it is ignoring the distraction in...

MisAligned Die clash. Since it has an attribution, there is some additional premium, but as others here consistently note, you have to find a...
I was in a similar position a few months back, 1961 D RPMs. Around 7 with a couple unlisted. I still have a pile to go through...but as you...
Have a look - maybe this?? ADC-1c-1968D-01 : Mad Die Clashes
Looks like a team effort ending in a successful attribution for a CT member. Certainly is fun getting a couple listings to look back at.
Manually added. War Nickels are fun to variety hunt. Lots of opportunity.
@Collecting Nut I found that I was messing up my photos in the last instance trying to tap (gently) the button to take the photo. What you don't...
Did you see the little makeshift stand setup I posted? It should steady your hand.
I was a 'supplier' to a couple banks in town...unloaded most of my residual coinage that built up over the years. I was glad to clean up...and...
Being relatively close to the border, I would see a fair number of Canadian Nickels in change or CRH. I started to collect them but got to the...
Nice specimen!
