good looking nickel. Wait. Do the inscriptions on the coin appear to be "taller" than normal?
here's a better view.

Looks like die deterioration. Through the 50's and 60's it seems like the mint overused many of their nickel dies leading to smudgy details. Can someone post a mint state example of this? I don't have one handy.

Could be common ejection doubling, but I will let the variety experts confirm it as such

I have a few and they have steps. But I have never bothered to photograph them. I fear if I were to give them away, they would end up in MS67FS holders and in top Registry sets.
