I don't have a Cherry Pickers Guide. Anyone ever heard of a 1960 Double Die Obverse and Reverse Nickel? Strong doubling on most legends, obverse and reverse. With the exception of FIVE CENTS. Even the ELLO of Monticello is doubled very similar to the doubling of the 1945 P DD Reverse. I own one of those and compared. My camera is limited, but I posted some pictures here. http://picasaweb.google.com/rh28732...key=Gv1sRgCO3BheSNvMnC5QE#5424115560292704674 http://picasaweb.google.com/rh28732...key=Gv1sRgCO3BheSNvMnC5QE#5424115176325992466 http://picasaweb.google.com/rh28732...key=Gv1sRgCO3BheSNvMnC5QE#5424114805754133010
I'm no expert but obvious signs of double-dieing that I know of is in closed letters (example: B,A,R,O), if it is a double-die, you will also see the doubling in those closed areas unlike with machine doubling. Hope this information was useful.
Yeah that's how the inscriptions look for the most part. Wish I had a better camera. I think you can see that doubling best on the full shots of the coin. Blurry but best I could do up close.
What you have is severe die deterioration on the coin giving the appearance of doubling. Those who indicated that it is a doubled die are incorrect, I'm sorry to say. There is no evidence of the coin being a doubled die. Sorry, Bill
Not not die fatigue on this coin. I can easily spot that. This is true doubling of almost all the legends on the coin.
What are you talking about? What are you talking about? This is a common worn out 5 cent die. Nothing more. It is so common that if looking at nickles you can't sling a cat and not hit one.
