Looks five step with a small ding (almost a bridge under 3rd column). Mint mark looks like strike doubling. But that is just my opinion, let the...
One more shot: [ATTACH]
What exactly are the guidelines which NGC and PCGS follow? Would either grade a 6-5-5-5 as FS??
Ahhh, I have just encountered a true nickel (Jefferson) COLLECTOR. I have seen your nickel post elsewhere (here maybe?). My friend, you will...
Thanks to all of the above, I was not even aware that there was a 2004 DDO. The Cherry picker's volumes, are woefully far short on many post 1990...
You are making my brain hurt. Yes that makes sense. Probably better than suspecting that an actual die had this double D imperfection.
NGC grades as FS the 3 SMS coins. Some of these look proof (actually proof-like).
On the coin I just commented on above, I am floored at its eye appeal as you noted. WOW. :cyclops:How is it that one guy gets all these...
On that 2nd 1940, it could be a FS IF there is a step hidden in the black at the very bottom. But the bridge kills the lower visible steps. It is...
Wow, how is it that one guy gets all these gems?? Did you search alot, check out numerous shows, or inherit?? My guess is that you held each in...
These are nice, mucho better!!
Here is the best image I found showing the steps on the south/west side of the building, which is the side shown on the nickel. Note the number of...
I'm with Chris, EF-45 (after seeing BOTH sides), nice coin!!
Agreed it is strike doubling, in this case it affected the deepest part of the die, which in this case was the deeply punched mintmark - per Fivaz...
If machine doubling, why only the "D"? Would not other elements be affected, even slightly? I would prefer to suspect that a die was made with...
I sincerely hope I have not got it backwards, but holding up the coin, you can see the sides of the rear columns, the second row. The northeast...
That is, in my humble opinion, a great catch. :pompous:
Hmmmm. The 1942 looks cleaned, in the photo anyways. Real flat.
My humble Tombac: [ATTACH]
In closing.... (there he goes again :-) :wacky: I have heard of 1943 D nickels which are 6 step, but I have personally never seen one. I think...
Separate names with a comma.
