An excellent scan that shows what a doubled die looks like -
Simply compare the lettering to that of a coin with mechanical or machine doubling........

I picked up two MS sets of 38-64 Jeffersons yesterday and while looking through them today found a 1945 P reverse double die that looks exactly like the pictured example.
Does anyone know what this double die nickel in say MS 63 or 64 would be valued at?

Awesome find! I sold a PCGS MS64 example on the BST last month for $280, Heritage has also sold a few recently in the same range ($250-300). In other words, that one coin probably paid for both sets.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Thanks Sean for the information. You are right, the 1945P DDR I found will more than pay for the two sets. On top of finding the DDR, in the same transaction I bought a 1959 proof set for $25.00 that has a half with a DCAM obverse and a moderately CAM reverse. No hairlines on the coin, one very small milk spot on the obverse and deep watery mirrors. The best 59 proof half I have found raw in almost 8 years of looking.

That's my mother's birthyear so I bought her a DDR like this from Keets awhile ago...I think they are cool!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

The best way I was told the difference is this...
Machine Doubling will never have 2 seperate serifs or ends where as Double Dies will. Nice coin as well.
One of my better collecting days to be sure.
