    Hi Novicetoerr and welcome to the forum.

    I did move your post from the original spot to where more people would see it. While the 2004 Peace Nickel did have a double die, it was on the obverse and not the reverse. Looking at your coin, I do see a small amount of doubling that I believe maybe machine doubling.

      Good pictures! How did you do them if I might ask? Also please read some of the other experts remarks on other coins. They might call this die deterioration doubling? Thanks, Bill

          The actual 2004 Peace nickel doubled die is well seen on WE, the date and the eye lid. This coin that you show does have die deterioration doubling and is not the DDO-001.

            Thanks again BJ!


            Bill,
            I used a handheld microscope camera (DinoCapture) that directly attaches to PC (up to 230X mag; low end $250) I bought from PCgear.com. But won't advise handheld, and rate it 5 out 10.


            Thanks all!
