<p>[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1813691, member: 30970"]We are not doubting that class VI doubled dies exist...we are saying that your coin is not a class VI doubled die. It doesn't share the exact same attributes...the fact that some of the letters on a single word are thick and some are normal on your coin is not consistent with a doubled die. With a class VI this thick you would also see some form of notching...not really apparent on your coin. Check out this picture by Jason Cuvlier...a renowned numismatist. It shows a nickel with die deterioration doubling, in the form of "extra thickness". Pretty much matches the appearance of your coin, down to the heavy flow lines from the rim... <a href="http://www.errorvariety.com/OFD/images/5c-DDDa.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.errorvariety.com/OFD/images/5c-DDDa.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.errorvariety.com/OFD/images/5c-DDDa.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Again I will ask...who is the "expert" that claimed your coin was a doubled die, the person you say is "well-known in the coin world"</p><p><br /></p><p> Why don't you send it into Wexler for the final word?
