An easy way to tell this is to look at the mint mark. If it is doubled like the rest of the coin, then it is not a double die, but hit by the press (that may be worn or a little off center) one or more times, causing a shiny &quot;flat&quot;area that makes the coin look like a double die.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Compare the coin with a true double die, and you can see the difference clearly. Do a search for &quot;coin varetys&quot;. Look at the coins closely.</p><p>So far, I have found there can be many different errors on a coin, some can be valuable and some a little over face value, But I am NOT an expert, but I attempt to learn something about coins every day. Learn all you possibly can about coins and how they are made, and it will take the boredom out of looking at nickles, and other coins. There are so many Varietys out there that it can be difficult to remember, and when I find a new error, back again I go looking through all my coins. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; A wise man said &quot;If you get bored with coins, you are not a true&nbsp; collector&quot;. Don&#039;t let this happen to you, but I encouragage you to keep looking. Do not give up. You will eventually find what you are looking for if you just keep looking. As an example, it took me 3 months to collect a complete 62-95 Jefferson set, compared to 2 Years to fill a 38 thru 61D Jefferson collection. I am now working in my 2nd 38 thru 61 set, and I have found 24 coins! (Most of my older coins came from below)</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Another way is to occasionally change your stratagey. Instead of continusly going to a bank, exchange your coin rolls at a country store. I have found most of my coins here, because many stores are far away from a bank, and they roll and keep their own coins to keep from going to the bank, and only purchace coins when needed or to make a deposit. The last time I went to a country store, they gladly exchanged 2 rolls of nickles, and when I got back home, I found a 39DD Monticello in one roll, and a 39D in the other!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; You can go to <a href="http://www.ngc.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngc.com" rel="nofollow">www.ngc.com</a> and click on a link that says &quot;No Grade Coins&quot; and Heres a place to look for Varities on many coins. &gt;&gt;&gt; <a href="http://byersnc.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://byersnc.com" rel="nofollow">http://byersnc.com</a> .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
