Description
Double Struck PR67 1972-S Nickel
1972-S 5C Jefferson Nickel--Double Struck--PR67 ANACS. Most double struck modern proofs are rotated in the collar, caused by a loose hammer die. But the present error is more dramatic. Both strikes are off center. The first strike is 5% off center toward 12 o'clock, and the second strike is 35% off center toward 12 o'clock. The second strike is at 6 o'clock relative to the first strike. But perhaps even more surprising than the double striking is the fact that this nickel was struck in proof format, and somehow it managed to escape the coin-by-coin inspection that all proofs undergo. Golden-brown toning contributes further to the eye appeal. A curved line on the reverse field is from the rim of the first strike, as made.From The New York Eye Appeal Collection, Part Three.(Registry values: N1)
