was searching coins. Not sure how to judge whether or not it’s an error or anything.

It helps to tell us what you see. If you're talking about the weak "trust", then yes, it's slightly struck through grease. Not really any added value.

So my only knowledge of coin collecting is that wheat pennies are sometimes worth more than face value. Steel pennies are from the war.(WW2) Morgan’s are worth a lot more than a dollar. And most change before 1964 contains some silver. I haven’t read any books for lack of funding and I read online and youtube as much as possible. Since I started collecting coins a year or so ago. With the finding of my first error nickel that’s off center. And the rim looks pressed twice. Double die? But to answer your question, yes it is about the “T” in “Trust”

Be careful with you tube, there is so much misinformation on there about coins that it is ridiculous. The rim that looks doubled has nothing to do with a doubled die, that is the result of a misaligned die or being slightly off center. For starters get hold of the redbook, a great source of information on US coins. You can usually find one that is a few years old at a great price.

Kevin: suggest you get a current edition of the US RED BOOK, will give you nearly all the info you need to get started. Older editions are out there, cheaper is you can't afford the $19.95

I agree with the Radbook great thing to have

Don't forget that Partial Collar Strikes and Clashed Collars can contribute to Doubled Rims as well.

After revisiting this topic it appears to me the T was struck through grease.
