recieved this 1916 graded MS-63 rotated nickel from a friend I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DOUBLE DIE. (poormans) Can i have a little help??????????
The digits in the date have the tell-tale shelf and I don't see any separation of serifs so I would have to say it is machine doubling.
From a Novice Collecter: This may seem like a stupid question but what is Mechanical or Machine doubling? Juan
Does this kind of doubleing add any more significant value to the coin. one on one of the sites that I have seen is selling for over $895 (was $995). And this has a stronger doubling.
The link below explains the various type of doubling (collectible and non-collectible) found on coins. Typically, machine doubling is the result of die deterioration or during striking or ejection of the coin. The flat table-like appearance is machine doubling (MD). Learning the differences will save you a lot of money especially when buying from unscrupulous auction dealers who market these as Doubled Dies. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/OtherFormsOfDoubling.htm
so this coin would get some premium (because of the doubling) onto of its value graded by NGC?????????? I know that it is hard to find this kind of doubling for this date.
This. Some collectors consider MD undesirable and it may lower the value for those particular collectors.
The coin is graded by NGC as a ms-63, and it is also rotated, can i please have a price for this coin because it it rotated?!...(45 degree rotation)
Ok, the doubling is common and not worth anything extra. What do you mean as in 45 degree angle? There was a forum about the coin placed wrong by NGC (not worth extra), but if one side is rotated 45 degrees it would be listed on the slab and worth more
the slab does not say anything about a rotation but the reverse is rotated 45 degrees. a friend from NY gave me one as a gift. It is not listed on the NGC container, but it is clearly rotated 45 degrees.
