I'll post the results later.
Here are some images of a Jefferson Nickel. The first UNUM is Doubled on the reverse, The second RICA is shown, but AMERICA is doubled on the reverse. The third shows the S in TRUST on the Obverse. Lastly a close up of the double portion of the S.

    Here is a hint. Neither is correct, but there is something right from each of you so far.

    I'm just going to boost this because I have a feeling a Jefferson expert will know the answer without guessing. There must be something (die polish lines) to identify the year

    Another hint for you. The double die obverse (the "S" shown) is not listed on the Coneca site, but the reverse is...

    I feel I should know this and I don't. I want to guess that it is a pre-WWII proof because of the S in TRUST, I think that is master hub doubling from that era. But based on the reverse I'll guess instead that it is a 1957 proof.

    Another partialy right answer.

    TwoSides2aCoin guess 1945 P Close it is a War Nickel.

    Top50SetBuilder quess 1955 Proof Close it is a Proof

    Sean, your guess started out with Pre WWII again close, then you shift to another Proof year.

    Drat... so you won't buy that I had actually typed 1942 in my reply but then changed it to 1957? image

    I had no idea such a nice doubled die existed on the 1942 proofs, thanks for sharing the pictures. Did you cherrypick the DDR or buy the coin attributed?

    I've had the coin for years and I don't know why but I thought I would look at it under the microscope... A nice surprize for me. image
