Possible doubled die. Wexler lists a similiar DDR for the Denver mint. Variety vista has no listing for this DDR. Is this a doubled die?

Got this from a local casino voucher cashout machine. I don't remember the last time I got a silver nickel in change but it was a very long time ago!

I just got one two days ago in my till at work. First one that's not from the bank.

I still get them from time to time. I pay cash for everything so I probably see more change than many.

Picked up a few nice ones today including FBs & FSs but this one I had to post, much nicer in hand.
I'm guessing 66+ since the hit on the neck and possibly worse (shield). Philly's don't typically come with much luster unless you hit jackpot.

This one is currently at the encapsulation stage...

I got my fingers crossed for you.
Edit:
I’m still searching, finding okay stuff. The lack of improvement with photography discourages me from picking up the camera (iPhone).I got a decent ‘61 dime in change from a thrift shop the other day.

A lot!
I'm not really sure about actual realized prices and market tendencies but the CACG price guide for Kennedys is lower than PCGSs while at the same time CACG is allegedly more stringent (will see). So if PCGS 1982D MS67 (PG 700.00) while CAGS is set to 200.00 but may come back as a 66 well then I turned a $700 coin into a $50 coin.With the ongoing TV problem I elected to send a few of my better 67s to CACG (intact) to see how they fare and find out who missed the mark PCGS, me, or nobody. Based on CACs stickering history I feel like I will get the correct grade the first time around I've never been a fan of submitting a coin more than once nor have I. If you can't spend more than 5 seconds on a coin how professional is it. I would rather pay $150 per coin and get it done right the first time. But this may be a game curve I have yet to figure out.
Stay tuned.

Things I hate about customer wrapped rolls- I once got 9 roll of quarters with only 38 coins each. - SHORTAGES!!
- People replacing coins with worthless tokens-of course this kind of crap can also be found in bank wrapped rolls
.😒😒😒
.

Things I love about customer wrapped rolls 😍😍😍😍😍 - Sometimes you hit the jackpot-all nine of these silver coins were stacked together in one customer wrapped roll

@rec78 Nice silver finds to me the only thing there worth the time invested...
Which is the main reason I have abandoned roll searching. I looked at the front and back of some 2,600,000 pennies (no silver obviously) to make 4 MS68 C coins.
In that time period I could have done many other things like get a Masters degree, sail around the world (more than once), or maybe even read a book.
No offense I'm not knocking it I just don't have the spare time like I once did.
Good luck!Edit: Not abandoned 100% I reserve the right to open rolls when I find good ones just not gonna go to the bank fanatically every day 😁

Nothing quite like a good grade to reinvigorate your efforts.
I found this one while culling through a few cases of saved coins. While searching I would stow away into flips anything that looks decent.
I saved 4 or 5 of these from an original bank roll in one flip and recently submitted the best one.
More to come waiting on grades to post.4 -

I am 73 and will never quit coin roll hunting. My dad started me on this on Dec.25, 1958, when he got me Lincoln cent Whitman folders. I have been coin roll hunting ever since however there were long periods of time when i did not have the time to do it. Now that I am retired I intend to keep doing it as long as possible. But I only intend to do a few more quarter half dollar and dollar boxes. Then pennies as long as they are available. I have been very lucky for the 4+ years as Wells-Fargo orders me any coins I want.

Hmmmm, up near the NY border? You're considered NE United States. My research and calculations say you should be finding them.

I have sent in really nice mint set finds for grading and been universally massacred for in hand beautiful coins that on close inspection before and after have shocked me (eg. 1983 P and D quarters and two exceptional 1970 D halves). I could be wrong but def. had the feeling they got the 5 second - if that look over - and then slapped with the grade. I wish that I could take better pictures but may try later today....

I take back anything bad I have ever said about PCGS as I recently sent 5 of my best P. MS67s to CACG and all 5 were declined to cross at grade. I'm one and done with those guys at least in the modern coin arena.
I'll get more into the weeds once they all come back.0 -
Here are a few of the better results from the last sub. Still waiting on a few other note worthies to ship.

Damn Oakstar, I still am striking out with these. (The location may be the problem, but volume certainly isn't.)

This guy somehow made it through the system. Just pulled him out of a roll! Wonder how long he's been floating around in circulation? 🤷♂️ 🤔

Went through 2 boxes of cents. I found my 1st 2025 cents (3).
Not many Wheat Cents either. The cross cent was nice. I also searced a box of niclels and found 1 war nickel. It was OK, I have had worse CRH weekends. 🙂🙃😐USN & USAF retired 1971-1993

Only finds from 2 box search of half dollars ($1000 face-2000 coins)
No silver -no varieties-no foreign, but plenty of NIFC's:
2018-D -53
2019-P -83
2019-D-40
2020-P-55
other NIFC dates (2002-2020)-10
total -241 NIFC dates all nice Bu. There were a few that I had to return because of scratches.
The 2019's are lower mintage coins of less then 2 million from each mint.
i don't know what I am going to do with all these, perhaps ebay them.

i don't know what I am going to do with all these, perhaps ebay them.I searched a box of half dollars late last year and found 13 OBW rolls of 2021D & 2024D JFKs. The real find was 74 40% silver & 4 90% silver JFKs. I will never find another like that box again. If I find 1 silver in an entire box, I call it a great day.

Om vacatiom in Arkansas. I visited 5 banks this morning and this is what I was able to take home: 30 loose cent rolls, 4 loose quarter rolls, 1 box of cents, and 1 box of nickels. Now the CRH fun can start after I get home. I was given this nice bank zippered coin bag too. 😀😃😃

Out shopping at flea markets. When I was checking out, I noticed these nice shinny Cents in the customer give away box (used to round up their order). The clerk wad fine with me searching the coins. I quickly grabbed 40 AU CENTS and gave the 40 cents. I just went through them and there are 30 2025-D Cents. I said thankyou as I left. 🙂🙃🙂

Nice find!

I did ask her if she had any more rolls that I could buy. She told me the extra rolls were in the safe and would not be able to open it. Maybe tomorrow I can stop by but my day is pretty full

I still haven't found any 2025 coins except quarters, just like last year.

I have found two of the quarters, and a small pile of cents, nickels and dimes. No halves or dollars. It was similar last year, but a couple months ago a bank had ten rolls of 2024 halves. Some of the 2023 quarters are difficult to find (naturally, the ones I want) even now, but I frequently find States and State Park quarters in beautiful condition.

I've been roll hunting for decades and had quite a few nice circulated finds but my best quality find was this 1972 DDO MS65RD (FS-101) that was PCGS certified prior to selling, as I already had an MS66RD PCGS/CAC, and I have all of the FS-101 to 109 in MS66RD, except still looking for the FS-104 in a nice BU, no surprise there that I haven't found one yet.

How common are the 2019-W quarters? I know the mintage is low, but I just found another today. The one I found an hour ago is Lowell State Park, appears not heavily circulated. Are they worth grading or should I wait a decade or two? (I've not gone through the process before)
Aside, some nickels in a roll going back to the 40's (no '42-'45) & 50's...heavy wear, but I don't find so many in one roll. That was fun.
