My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 04:45 am I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like this or not because it's the first one I have ever seen. I have been looking at this coin for days now and am unavailable to take the quality pictures it deserves but I hope you can still see on the enlarged photos what I was wondering about. Does anyone have a 2021 dime for comparison? At first I was thinking on in god we trust was DDD but they have just begun production so I don't think that is possible. That's why I think it may possibly be a doubled die. I am far from an expert and I just wish I could show you quality photos of what I am looking at but hopefully these will do for now. I have tried different lighting and angles but I have a horrible camera on my phone. Thank you for your time. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 10:27 am Just looks like slight die chatter. Not even enough to call it MD. The target area for doubled dies are in the center area of the design. Like this: This area for dimes DDR reverses. Report this Post to the Staff
My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 11:17 am See, that is why I asked. I never heard of the term die chatter and I did not know that would even cause notching like that on the letters. I was taking an account for the 2012 2017 and 2019 dime that all three had an instance of extra thickness of the lettering that wexler categorized as a doubled die. How did those happen?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 1:43 pm It the machine was looser, what looks like notching, would be MD. In order for a coin to be a doubled die, the die has to be doubled. A doubled die is not a strike issue, but hub doubling creating the die. But a doubled die can have Machine Doubling. But a normal die can not strike a doubled die. Also look at the die varieties for eh Dimes. Not much since 1973 for obverses, and a few new ones for the reverse with the doubling in the centers of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 2:29 pm Yes, I know that much and that's why I was asking about the dimes listed on wexler's due to extra thickness for 2012-17 and 19 Report this Post to the Staff
