  • Appreciate opinions on 3 legged nickel

    I was looking at a 3 legged nickel to bid on and they also stated that it had a doubled D on the reverse. Because I know the owner of the auction he let be take some pictures. Below are pictures of the D mint mark and to me it appears to just qualify for a double D designation, but I'm open to more astute opinions if possible.

    Thanks

    If it is a RPM, then it is very minor. I think that I see an upper split serif, but it could be the lighting angle that is giving me that impression. As to it being on a 1937 three legged buffalo nickel, to my knowledge that particular die does not have a RPM.

      Thank you BJ, that was what I had noticed on this. I'm still trying to resolve lighting issues with my new scope. But with a lope it seems to be more obvious, as well as a slight indication on the right side thickness of the D. Funny how that works!
