ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 01/08/2009 12:45 am I have this 1993 Canada dime where there is doubling on the date. The first nine is pushed up slightly with a tiny bit of doubling at the bottom of it. The second nine is pushed up quite a bit and the three is up slightly. There is no other doubling on the dime at all. I've adjusted the contrast on the pics because I couldn't get good enough lighting on it to show the separations. My question is: Is this Die Deterioration? Report this Post to the Staff

Jamez Pillar of the Community United States 750 Posts	Posted 01/08/2009 06:58 am Die Deterioration from what I can see with these pics. There does look to be some separation in there however. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/09/2009 12:25 pm Seeing another 1993 really helps! Comparing the two, I notice the first date has much thinner strokes were the doubling or Die Deterioration is happening. There might be a few things happening here, including MD.
