I don't have my CPG's at hand - anybody want to check this for me ?

This is a nice AU58 - just stumbled across it while reviewing some inventory.

Mine ? No pics yet. All date digits doubled at bottom. Both arrowheads doubled. Bottom of shield and scrolls below doubled.

It's probably mechanical doubling. Do the arrows and bottom of the scroll look anything like this?

I will agree on that. Have not seen a nickel 5c. piece with mechanical doubling previously. The doubling on the date numerals has a different appearance than the other elements mentioned above, so still somewhat confident that the date is repunched, as opposed to die doubling.

just to have as a teaching tool.... Cheers, RickO
