so i dont believe this would get a full step designation, but i love it and close to it i think,im sure its not worth anything but i could be wrong but doubtful lol THOUGHTS? Looking at the date the star next to the Y in LIberty Looks to have minor doubling and the 1 in 1939 looks funky, i noticed doubling through put the whole coin on obverse and the reverse seen clearly the motto in GOD WE Trust, and on the reverse States shows doubling, ALso Im not sure but the window also and lastly Monticello looks to have doubling and TO THE RIGHT OF THE COIN ITS LOOKS LIKE A huge T or impression next to the building and the coloring is super weird like a golden organ-ish brown spot/ also have a few more photos to upload right after posting this AGAIN id thought everyones input on this nickel, its a keeper for me but maybe just maybe its holds some vaule lol
To me it looks like a deteriorated die from overuse so the text is right up to the rim almost. This causes the doubling effects over time/use. No extra value. IMO, Jim
This is a common 1939 with the proper RDV. If it had a 1938 RDV it would have more value. Keep an eye open for those. I don’t see a DDO or a DDR here though. Nice condition for a circulation find. It’s worth setting aside.
Yeah, there is a famous and popular 1939 DDR with heavy doubling on MONTICELLO, but this isn't it. Looks like die deterioration to me, too -- but I agree that it's a keeper.
A DDO/DDR? You mean like two in one, two doubled dies paired on a coin? You could stand to learn something. We’ve a saying, here. Read and learn first, then take scores of pictures second. It saves lots of aggravation. It’s practical, as well. I mean, when you think about it, when you really think it over.
