1937 D/D buffalo nickel that's also DDO

ponderitponderit Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭✭✭
I can't seem to find any references to a 1937 D/D buffalo nickel that's also DDO. I have a SEGS slabbed MS-65 RPM-1. This coin also has very strong doubling from the hairline all the way down to the chin. The eyelid is strongly doubled and the 9 and 3 are as well. The feather's bow also shows doubling. I have the Cherrypickers' volume one forth edition but this coin's not referenced. I know there's a new edition but have yet to get it. Any ideas on a site that might address this coin? BTW, I know a pictures worth a thousand words but I can't get a good pic of this coin... Thanks

    The doubling you see is common on
    37-D's, as well as many many other
    dates of Buffalos and Mercury Dimes,
    among other coin series.

    It's known as machine doubling, or
    ejection doubling, or mechanical
    doubling, and it isn't considered
    an error in the striking of the coin.
