    There appears to be doubling on the date and the words on the obverse 1114180942a_HDR~2.jpg 1114180942b_HDR~2.jpg 1114180937_HDR~2.jpg 1114180937a_HDR~2.jpg 1114180938_HDR~2.jpg 1114180938a_HDR~2.jpg 1114180940_HDR~2.jpg 1114180941_HDR~2.jpg 1114180941a_HDR~2.jpg 1114180950b_HDR~2.jpg

    Newbie69 Doesn't make cents!

    Thinking maybe the result of a loose die! JMO!

    I appears to be DDD to me.

    Pardon me, but what is ddd?, and the date, especially the last two numbers appear to be differently doubled than the words. I have never seen anything like the doubling on this date before.

    DDD= Die Deterioration doubling which simply means it came from a worn die that should have been retired. It is not a true doubled die, nor an error.

    ....and it's VERY common on Jeff. Nickels,
    in the 1960-1962 era especially.

    Wow that is a hard core example of DDD! I have never seen one that extreme and would hang on to it as a conversation piece.

    It is fun to look at; especially the last two numbers of the date which look like they have been struck numerous times. One day i will find a better camera. I would really like to buy one at a store, to check it out first, instead of buying one off the internet, but i cant seem to find a store near me. The photos dont do the coin justice.

    I gave up on cameras and use a scope, which is reasonably priced on the web.
    You can buy one that uses USB port on your computer. I paid around $39 for mine. Do some research and see what's out there.
