I could not find any references for V nickels, and noticed extra thickness on the reverse, under loupe and scope I noticed the UNIT or United has some type of action happening. And the edges of the left side wreath. Any knowledge or insight appreciated.
Is this just die deterioration or strike doubling?

I’m leaning towards doubled, but it could be strike doubling that flattened out to match the lettering as the coin wore. Seems doubled to my eye at least.

It looks more like true doubling, rather then shelf like machine doubling.

Definitely mechanical/strike doubling.
No split serifs = mechanical doubling
I would say machine/mechanical doubling. No split serifs... the wear makes it look flat. Cheers, RickO
