New 1726-2026 Nickel Anomalies?

[Ervin Carpenter]

These photos are examples from a new 1726-2026 roll of Nickels. From the Thickness of the numbers and the doubling of the sixes would these be DDO?

Coneca forum rules state one coin per post. Even though you are posting about all the same coin, it can get quite confusing. Hopefully people will refer to each numbered coin, should they say yes or no to one or several.
Plus, some folk many not have a normal example of this coin to compare, so to them, they all look the same, maybe.

I am not a big fan of the single squeeze era. Eaxtellcoins is a good attributor, and he might end up looking these over.

In my opinion, extra thickness is very subjective, unless it is very obvious, compared to nickels of the same year.

Hi Mr. Kozera,
Thank you for your response to my recent inquiry on the 2026 nickels. I think I forgot that I was not supposed to send more than one coin in an inquiry, however, as you pointed out, they are of the same variety and we're very similar in nature so I thought it shouldn't be a problem. Actually, half of the roll had these anomalies. I forgot to mention that they are also Full Step nickels. At the time I located these coins I did have an example of a 2026-D Nickel to compare these coins to. These numbers on the coins are definitely a different thickness than the example I had before posting my inquiry.

I have done some research on your suggestion that these might be single squeezed era coins. I will send one to Dr. Wiles at Variety Vista to get his opinion as well.

I would like to ask you if these are a single squeezed era DDO coins, is there any value in such a coin with a full step designator?

Thank you again for your assistance, you are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate you.

I am not a fan of the single squeeze era varieties.

In my opinion, you might be able to see if any have been listed on pcgs.com or ngccoin.com . NGC has the variety-plus section as well. For PCGS, expanding the plus sign (+) next to the date and mint mark will reveal all the varieties recognized by them.

Another site, Brian's Varieties may have either listings at least photos for the newer coins. He should have photos in the variety listings as well as the for sale section.

You might be able to search ebay under the advanced search area and see what the newer style doubled dies have been selling for.

CONECA forum rules frowns on talking values in general. So thats the best I can offer on that.

Good luck and happy hunting.

Thanks Gary, very helpful.

You are welcome.

One last suggestion should nothing showbis to contact the people at doubleddie.com to see if they have seen anything. Mr. Wiles attribution was a good move, it relatively inexpensive and he might offer some insight if he or anyone he knows have run into any of these newer coins with varieties yet. I know these things can take time to find, list and eventually get out to the public.

Good Luck, happy hunting.

Hi Gary,
I have contacted Brian Ribar at Doubbledie.com and I have sent him 5 of the coins we spoke of for his examination. In his last email to me he stated, "Hi Ervin, I have not seen any of the new 2026 P or D nickels as of yet. It is impossible to tell what is going on just by looking at photos. You can send them to me for attribution if you wish. I have noticed over the past couple of years that there are quite a few doubled working hubs in the Jefferson series. If you found that many, it is possible. Brian" I will keep you posted on what he fines.

Once again, thanks for your assistance.
