1941-D Nickel Double Die Reverse

segoja · June 15, 2003 7:22AM

Has anyone ever heard of a 41-D double die reverse?

I have one that just came from from the factory MS67FS and I was reveiwing the coin and the reverse looks doubled. Montecello is doubled as is e pluribus unum. Doesn't look like strike doubling.

Like anyones opinion if you have one or have heard of one.

Thanks!

probably machine doubling.

Keets,

My understanding is the machine doubling is a shelf like or flat second strike.

This has rounded second lettering and is over 50% of the coin. Top to bottom of the right side.

Could that machine???

I'm certainly no double die expert, but I think it's more.

Like your thoughts.

Wish I could place a scan, but my scan software is not that good.

James,

My understanding is the machine doubling is a shelf like or flat second strike

With machine doubling it is the "underlying" image that will have the shelf like appearance. The top image will be rounded.

A doubled die will exhibit appear rounded on both the top and bottom images.

Hope this helps.

To me, the giveaway is whether the doubling follows the serifs of the lettering -- if so, likely doubled die, if not -- strike doubling ...

Al,

I don't have the software to scan it into the system, or I would.

Most likely send it to CONECA.
