1970-S Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

The 1970-S Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001 is a doubled die obverse (DDO) variety, where a misalignment during the die hubbing process created visible doubling on the obverse design elements. This variety was discovered on the 1970 (S) Proof Jefferson Nickel, part of the Jefferson Nickels Original Design 1938-2003 series. Die markers: Obverse: Slightly slanted die gouge between bottom back of coat and queue; short vertical die scratch on back of neck. Reverse: Die gouge to upper left of first U of PLURIBUS; two die gouges to upper left of E of E PLURIBUS.
