Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1945-P Doubled Die Reverse is one of three different major Doubled Die coins in the Jefferson Nickel series. The three different Doubled Dies are the 1939 Doubled Die Reverse, 1943 Doubled Die Obverse and finally, the 1945 Doubled Die reverse.

The 1945 Doubled Die Reverse has the doubling on the words, MONTICELLO, and FIVE CENTS on the reverse of the coin. Its not as dramatic as the 1939 Doubled Die reverse but it is dramatic enough that it can be spotted with the naked eye.
