I Want To Try Dime Rolls Next

I do not think this article completely addresses your question but the following is a related excerpt from, CoinWorld:

'Doubled dies: If, during the hubbing and die making process, a misalignment between hub and partially completed die occurs, overlapping, multiple images may appear on the die, creating a die variety.

Coins struck from the die will show the overlapping images, like the doubled date, IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY on the 1955 Lincoln, Doubled Die Obverse cent.

Die doubling, on coins with raised designs, features a rounded second image; on incused designs, the second image is flat and shelflike. At the corners of the overlapping images are distinct "notches" on coins with raised designs.

A tripled or quadrupled die is caused by the same misalignment, but bears a tripled or quadrupled image.

Major U.S. doubled dies are considered impossible since 1996 to 1997 due to technological improvements at the Mint, but minor examples continue to appear.

Traditional doubled dies can only occur when more than one impression of hub into die is required, and the alignment between hub and die shifts or distorts between hubbing operations. Some specialists suspect these occur when a hub and die blank are tilted in relation to each other at the start of the hubbing operation.

Doubled die varieties can sell for a few dollars or many thousands of dollars each, based on rarity, degree of doubling and overall popularity of the specific variety.'



I have also attached a helpful side-by-side Morgan $ 1 shot comparing machine vs. hub doubling which clearly demonstrates the 'notching' produced within hub doubling.

agent,

I can completely relate to your feelings after having spent multiple hours and turning up zippo, zero, or nada.

Try to keep things in perspective being that errors and varieties are infrequent occurences and

I wouldnt get discouraged until you have been through about $750 in dimes. I sometimes get 2 or 3 boxes in a row with nothing.

wow, how much is a box of dimes?

based on my current success, maybe you should try quarters instead of dimes

im about to try quarters next week then, ill make sure to ask for customer rolled coins, how do you choose the older looking ones? in my experience they just take your cash and give you the rolls, I doubt theyll let me go behind the counter and look and pick out the rolls I want to take

Hehe. Thats creepy. I just thought tonight about an hour ago "Tomorrow when I get up I am going to go to the bank and start roll searching." Pennies of course but I also remembered I read an article in Strike It Rich with Pocket Change about dimes so I thought dimes too!

There is a mention in that book about using something called a 'tissue cloth' over laid over a silver and non silver dime next to each other and the silver dime will be lighter then the non silver. There's an image in the book if someone wants me to scan it. But the thing was when I tried to 'buy a tissue cloth' having never heard of one before I cant find it on google either. Anyone know what that is?

I wonder if maybe its a generic term for a Kleenex which I dont even know what the generic term is because I've only ever heard 'tissue' or Kleenex but tissue can also refer to a packing material.

Thing is I dont have a silver dime to test it with to match his picture. (Though I just realized I think I have some silver clad coins I might be able to compare to but then again those are proof so that might affect the test.)

Thanks for any help. Hope this is on topic.

Thanks! So I was right. But I didnt have anyone to ask back when I read that years ago so I didnt wanna be wrong and have a wierd outcome. Again thanks!
