Jefferson Nickel Variety of the Week: 1945-P DDR-007
I have to share this one! How many years have I been checking every 1945-P looking for the three Cherry Pickers Varieties (DDR-001, DDR-003 and DDR-004).....over 35 years! I've been fortunate and lucky to have found a few of each over the years.
Then a month ago or so, I see doubling on a coin on AMERICA. What! After all these years and the many thousands of nickels examined, my first odd doubled die for the 1945-P! I thought, maybe a new discovery! So I pop into Variety Vista to see what is up with the 1945-P DDR's. To my surprise, there are actually 8 DDR's! See, you can teach an old dowg new tricks. Just have to give that dowg a little time, well maybe a lot of time in this case!
So, does anyone have one?
Happy hunting!

Nice coin!
Looks like tripling on C and A.
Do not have one, but thanks for showing your find.
So this is what crazy collectors do. I wasn't sure if PCGS would grade this one with the lamination problem across the face? It graded MS64, which is acceptable. So now I have a $5 coin in a $25 piece of plastic in order to add it to my "All Variety" Set.

The split serif on the lower portion of the E in CENTS really shows it.

Nice find... a good thing about coin collecting....None of us know it all....Cheers, RickO
Nasty looking coin, but a neat variety. I have a LOT of slabbed Dimes not worth the plastic the are in.
