    I'm pretty new to errors and didn't know if this picture is good enough for you to see if the P on this Jefferson is doubled Thanks for looking

    While the photo is alittle blurry I'm 99% sure that it is just machine doubling. There is no chance of an RPM because they stoped punching the mintmarks by hand about 10 years before.

    It could. Take a look at the doubling...does it look flat, and lifeless? If so that is machine doubling. It is pretty common and it happens when the die kindof shifts as it strikes.

    BTW--I've been in Pensacola before years ago when I was just a little guy....don't remember much about it.

    Speedy,

    Actually the letters including the P are more rounded than flat but it being new to me i could be wrong, I just moved back to Pensacola in Jan. We went to Oklahoma a couple years after hurricane Ivan but decided the weather was worth returning, I'm kind of glad we did in the last 2 weeks i have gotten 2 Adams dollars from stamp machines here with the doubled edges both running opposite directions and upside down to each other, so those errors were very obvious to me unlike the nickel Thanks for the time and info

    looks like strike doubling.
    It can't be an RPM, since the mintmark is in the master die.

    even with the bluriness I am going to say strike doubling

    I go over there a few times a year, I can tell you the newest thing going on is the new Escambia Bay bridge.
