Does anyone recognize the variety of this doubled mint mark on a 1944-P war nickel?

    I would not characterize that as a doubling. Maybe minor die deterioration/seperation, leaving a slice of the coin metal as a result.

    Its an RPM, there are a jazillion different ones in the war jeff series. Did you buy that off of Ebay? I was selling that variety a few years ago. I had half a roll of them graded as MS66

    Over-punched?

    You mean re-punched mint mark, right? image

    That is RPM-003, one of the nicer ones.

    An overpunch refers to a different mint mark. Put the weed down.

    That's a minor error of semantics, and it was still a heck of a lot closer than "minor die deterioration/seperation, leaving a slice of the coin metal as a result."

    This book probably recognizes several.

    This book probably recognizes several.

    I would recommend " The Jefferson Nickel RPM Book an attribution and pricing guide" by James Wiles
    a much more comprehensive reference for RPMs and in conjunction with the book leo recommended you have the Jefferson variety basics pretty well covered..

    Well put seanq.

    Griv,

    No offense, but can't you just say "I don't know it all and I was way off, nice coin!" Your attacks on others and defense of your obvious wrong answer isn't going to get you much credibility here, MS-70 moderns or not. You are not a die variety guy and that is okay, no one knows everything.

    I would not characterize that as a doubling. Maybe minor die deterioration/seperation, leaving a slice of the coin metal as a result.

    That is the most un-informed answer I have heard all month. That is a RPM if one existed.

    Excuse me, but let me recap for you my friend. I am a bullion and late modern coin collector. I have NEVER EVER posted that I know CRAP about anything prior to 1986. I am posting an opinion so why is it necessary to single my comments out and hold them up to discredit me? I am always the first to admit when I am FOS so taking cheap shots like this is a discredit to the forum and to me, if that matters.

    I do... you'll never know how hard it was for me not to post a pic of my 43/2 and ask if this was the same " minor die deterioration/seperation, leaving a slice of the coin metal as a result."

    Excuse me once again. I am often wrong, but I take offense at your comments. You are a mean-spirited individual and have zero respect for others. Do you want me to admit I don't know crap here? Okay, BH/BM, I DON'T, so there you go. Do you take pride in being a moron?

    Better yet, you could have posted a pic of a 1955 Doubled Die and been told "great separation on the second strike".
