2004-P Doubled Die Obverse DISCOVERY

Click here for an article on the exciting recent discovery of a doubled die obverse, Peace Reverse, Jefferson nickel!

With the recent years of "single squeeze" hubbing at the Mint it is exciting to find a true hub doubled coin produced from this style of hubbing. How is it possible that an offset doubled die could occur from the single squeeze method? We may never know....

Any update from the mint regarding this?

 

Nothing yet....

 

I've talked to the gentleman who made the initial discovery. (via another internet coin forum)

He is quite proud of his accomplishment, and rightfully so, I might add.

Be sure to check out Billy Crawford's pics which can be accsessed via Jason's website.

 

I have received some calls regarding this new discovery. For such a relatively small doubling, it is causing quite the stir. I can hardly wait to hear the explanation from the mint about how such an occurrence has taken place with the single squeeze. I have an employee going through our stock, but none found yet.

 

Interestingly of the two examples to be discovered so far, both were found in Florida.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that FL would be a good place to look.

 

Do you mean the 2004-D?

 

The dime, the Lincoln with the wavy steps. That is why I am so interested to hear what the mint has to say.

 

Yes.

The U.S. Mint is denying that a variety of 2004-P Jefferson, Peace Medal 5-cent coin is from a doubled die.

"We believe the nickel doubling is caused by excessive tonnage and press tooling condition, and we see no evidence of a double [sic] die," Michael White, public information officer, said.

...Big suprise huh?! lol

 

Hey, I didnt knot that this board existed, and you guys are talking about my nickel!!!! Lol!

Im sending the coin off to ANACS soon to get it encapsulated and labelled 'discovery piece'. Im still trying to figure out what to send them, but I think I got it.

 

Good luck, Gabe.

Glad you found us.

 

There was one in an ANACS cache that just ended today with no bids at $100. Last month one sold for $306. It's amazing how things come and go isn't it...

 

A Florida dealer has reported that he found over 200 examples of the 2004 DDO in bank rolls and has had them all certified by NGC.

 

Are you aware of what designation NGC placed on the holder?

 

Most likely the same as the ones that have been selling on eBay recently: 2004 Handshake Reverse DDO

 

Can you elaborate further about the dime and Lincoln you are referring to here?
