2 Rims ? This is the first coin I’ve seen with the Doubled rim complete on obv. And rev.


How does this occur and what extra value is attached to it if any. I know they are rare bc this is the first I’ve seen.

    While this is uncommon, IMO, it does not add any value. If you look at enough coins, you'll see what I mean. There are surly other 1964-D's as yours that were struck at the same time. You do have a very nice 64-D though.

    PS The 1955 DDO 1c coins have a rim just as this and it is one of the characteristics some folks look for.

    PPS I'll look in my change jar to see if I can find this characteristic on another coin (besides Morgan dollars).

    Insider, ty so much. Very informative. I’m guessing your saying I must at least have a nice DDO or DDR on my hands?

    You should examine your own coins to see if you have a DDO or DDR. @Insider2 mentions the 1955 DDO because that’s one of the most common coins with a doubled rim. It does not mean your coin is also doubled. From the pictures, I do not see any doubling. The rim also does not add any value, so I would say this coin is common pocket change.

    Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.

    @Watchbelieve

    As Jason posted, your coin is not a doubled die. It is not very valuable either; however, it is unusual, and I'd keep it if it were mine. :)

    That is the first one I've seen like that. Nice find!

    While it is not highly common, it also is not rare to see this rim doubling. It adds no numismatic value, more a curiosity. There is no DDO or DDR on that nickel. Cheers, RickO
