2017 D Nickle possible DDO.. 0

[Lacywebb]

First.. Thank you all for taking time from your day to take a look at my post. Id like to know if this is a DDo... Thank You!

[Mr.Bill347]

Yes it does appear to be so! Thanks for your great photos!

Flat and shelf-like, no split serifs.  Characteristics of mechanical doubling, which adds no value. 

Check out the "worthless doubling" tab on Wexler's website for more info.

It’s a “TRIPLE NOPE”.

Not anything but strike doubling.

Not on the obverse, so not a DDO if it were hub doubling. 
Annnd not a “nickle”. Check the spelling.

Three strikes. Guess what that means.

Meaningful doubling almost NEVER is seen on both sides. Since it shows on both sides, it is strike doubling. Not important.

Note to OP: this stuff you’re looking for is really really hard stuff to find, pretty close to impossible. Why would you think you’re finding it?

Here's a good article explaining the different types of doubling, both worthless and true hub doubling, if I haven't already sent it to you.  This informational tidbit should have its own home, as its own topic, here on the forum for people to reference..... just a thought.....

I'm in the nope camp, too.  Your coin is an example of machine doubling, which does not add value to a coin.

May I suggest that those who thought this was hub doubling read this article by our hosts:

Nope.

As others have said just very common strike doubling. As VKurt alluded to just so you know while doubled dies can occur, the mint changed the process of making dies fully by 1999. They began experimenting with this single squeeze process in the mid 80s and from 99 forward all dies were made this way. With this new method the primary cause of doubled dies is removed, but there are still ways it can happen although less frequently. With the new process it is first unlikely you will find any, and if you do it is unlikely that the doubling will be on the exterior designs. The primary area for doubling now would be near the center of the coin. Not to say you won’t find one, but the obsession with doubled dies in recently minted coins is a YouTube fascination that is wasting most new collectors time and energy. Your time will be much better spent, and in the end you will find much more interesting things in your lifetime, if you spend the time now learning all you can about the minting process.

I'm sure it is a much faster and economical way and a 'good process' the way a die is created now.... but DAWM...... I am sure going to miss those class 1 DD's...... very sad to me.

You’ll have to embrace the doubles ears that will pop up in the future. If you need a DD fix let me know and I’ll send you a picture of my 55 Lincoln DD. Those will literally make you dizzy if you stare at it. I look at it and think “now that’s a doubled die” 😂

I actually have a 55 DDO of my own Woods! I found it in the wild..... online......(albeit it's a framed picture though....)

well wishful thinking I suppose! Too many youtube videos telling me to look in my pocket change for rare coins! Do you think all the rare valuable coins are already found? What are the chances of actually finding a super rare coin these days? Thanks for the spelling help too!

All? Absolutely not. ALMOST all? Yes, certainly. Remember, rare coins set aside for decades can REAPPEAR in circulation by someone who knows nothing about them when a family member dies. That is probably the circumstance that could still yield an amazing find. Ironically, modern coin slabbing makes this far less likely. But the routine slabbing of ordinary mundane coins threatens to undo that distinction. Choose your poison.

Regarding coins, there's only two things to do regarding YouTube......STAY OFF OF IT AND IF YOU'RE ALREADY ON IT, DON'T LISTEN TO IT!!!!!!

YouTube coin videos are the numismatic equivalent of raw sewage.....they are putrid, disgusting and worthless.  They over sensationalize everything and they spout a bunch of lies.  YouTube is the worst place to go for coin information.  Don't watch anymore coin vids on YouTube.  You'll be much better off.
