<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1719551, member: 35203&quot;]My guess is that seeing how the second image has no detail on it only the outline of the face, and the date itself is moved and struck over the original that it is a double struck but not as in a valuable double die restrike. It is one of two types of machine doubling that cause this; one is known as bounce where the die comes down strikes the blank the die itself shifts slightly on impact and bounces thus hitting the coin again super imposing that image over the original which is my vote for this coin. The other is along the lines of a broadstrike. Where the coin has a broken or missing collar that holds the coin and the coin shifts in this case to the right so the image is &quot;doubled&quot; to the left. Check the size versus a normal nickel for diameter if it&#039;s larger and spread it&#039;s more valuable as a broadstike than for the second image. There is a 1999-D on ebay listed as an error that looks like your coin only the back of the head and pony tail, ribbon etc. are doubled. <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F1999-D-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-ERROR-%2F310678136894%23vi-content" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F1999-D-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-ERROR-%2F310678136894%23vi-content" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-D-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-ERROR-/310678136894#vi-content</a> Off topic but the other two types of machine doubling are Longacre doubling where the die design is engraved in such a way to ensure sharp details but can cause &quot;flow&quot; of metal into those area&#039;s creating a second outline...think Indian head cents. The other is drag doubling where the die moves at the precise moment it strikes the coin thus smearing and dragging the image in a direction aka shelf doubling. Then there are also man made doubling like die abrasion think 55 cent poor man&#039;s double die, making polishing mistakes like the polishing wheel gouges on the &quot;tiger claw&quot; ike dollars and even some valuable one&#039;s like over-strikes and over-mint marks where the coin was purposely struck again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
