I found this dime yesterday, it looks like a DDO? If you look especially at the 5 in the date, it looks like another 5 is underneath and is slightly rotated to the right? What do you think? Is this Machine Doubling? I also see die cracks on this coin, I'll send more images. Wish I had a microscope, all I know is this is getting alittle addictive looking at every coin I come in contact with:)  |

Whatever it is, it is all over all the letters and numbers on that coin!

Actually the coin is in pritty good shape, doesn't appear to be worn at all, I would say maybe Machine Doubling if anything. I will post pics of the rest of the coin. |

The die that struck the coin was worn out. Time for it to be replaced.

It is Die Deterioration. MD would alter the shape by reducing the size.   See a lot of these that year and mint. |

Are these coins worth anything other than face value?
