I was wondering the same thing. I think that the doubling is of the descender in the letter Y. I did a quick look to see if there was a better...

The Large S were only produced for a short period of time. As a result, most 1941S Jefferson Nickels were small S. From my coin roll searching...
I’ll add some machine damage. The shelflike appearance of the devices suggests a wobble occurred during coining.
These are better pictures but just a tad out of focus. Taking photos can be fun and troublesome but keep playing with the lighting and focal...
Keep in mind that it is only speculated as a DDR and/or RPM. Paddy only posted what is obvious relative to melt value. Of course, it would be...
Hi Freddie - You'll need better photos for us to analyze. Here are some ideas you might leverage. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Looks like a late die stage where things are happening to the die. Chips and other deterioration making the devices look smeared (doubled-like),...
On another note, I really appreciate the circulation sets!! I recall advice I received as a kid from the LCS staff: buy the very best you can...
I haven't CRHed in a few years now, but I mainly did nickels and cents. I am not certain on the ratios anymore, but I think I'd pull a Buffalo...
The markers look different to me. And the other potential markers you show here are probably better diagnostics for the variety. I don't think...
Read up on conserving coins. Try using the most conservative of the methods and progress upward. You may be surprised at what simple distilled...
I'm at the small S and die deterioration.
As with the others, you are seeing something, but not a mint mark. A dig on the field of the coin that has appearance of being an S. As you...
For each series, I keep at least two sets: my circulation set (where I trade out worse for better) and my purchased set. I like to see where I...
Is there a break edge on the edge?
I’ll add that LCSs won’t buy circulated specimens unless other factors important are in play. Something worth 15% over face generally won’t...
I was a bit surprised when I took currency that I collected in the 80s while doing my paper route collections to learn their values are as...
The Magic Man is correct. Probably part of a Tails-Tails coin. A novelty and if intact, would have had some value. As is...nothing.
Ok - going to break my theme. I picked this up in change today along with a half dollar. The sound when handed to me was different and thought...
