2005P Jefferson- The Rev of Ocean in View

[chuckster 125]

Please tell me what could possibly be going on with this 2005P Jefferson nickel, Ocean in View.


It looks like a possible extra tree branch and die chips/flow in between the 2 trees?

any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Since your coin shows a late die state, it's hard for me to determine if it's strictly an effect of metal flow or whether you have one of the many doubled dies that have been reported for this issue.

All of the Tilted Hub class DDRs found in the 2005 Ocean In View 5c series have been in and around the 3 branches on the lower left of the right-most tree. In other words, here (inside the circle)...



The unusual area you show in your coin is further north and does not have the same look as any of the doubled dies I've seen. I'd say it is not a doubled die. But as wacky as some of these have been, I would not be surprised if someone finds doubling outside the 'red zone' I circled in the photo.

FYI: This image is of the 2005-D OIV 5c DDR-002. There are many dozens of P mint DDR discoveries -- but only a few from Denver. This one - having bold doubling above and below the lower left branch - is one of the more impressive DDRs.
