    Cool closeup!

    That's my mother's birthyear so I bought her a DDR like this from Keets awhile ago...I think they are cool!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Nice photo, Vince! I would like to see it even larger to show STATES OF as there is nice doubling there, too.

    An excellent scan that shows
    what a doubled die looks like -

    Simply compare the lettering to
    that of a coin with mechanical
    or machine doubling........

    Cool picture.

    I picked up two MS sets of 38-64 Jeffersons yesterday and while looking through them today found a 1945 P reverse double die that looks exactly like the pictured example.

    Does anyone know what this double die nickel in say MS 63 or 64 would be valued at?

    Awesome find! I sold a PCGS MS64 example on the BST last month for $280, Heritage has also sold a few recently in the same range ($250-300). In other words, that one coin probably paid for both sets.

    The best way I was told the difference is this...

    Machine Doubling will never have 2 seperate serifs or ends where as Double Dies will. Nice coin as well.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Thanks Sean for the information. You are right, the 1945P DDR I found will more than pay for the two sets. On top of finding the DDR, in the same transaction I bought a 1959 proof set for $25.00 that has a half with a DCAM obverse and a moderately CAM reverse. No hairlines on the coin, one very small milk spot on the obverse and deep watery mirrors. The best 59 proof half I have found raw in almost 8 years of looking.

    One of my better collecting days to be sure.
