SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/03/2024 10:20 pm Die Deterioration Doubling (and maybe a little circulation flattening as well). Worth 10 cents. Are you using a reference site like Variety Vista as you hunt? I don't believe there are any known doubled dies on 1988-D dimes. Edited by SamCoin 03/03/2024 10:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
juniorloc34 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 03/03/2024 10:41 pm I had not been using a reference. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention I will now be doing my research. Report this Post to the Staff

For the major Cherrypicker Guide variety coins, you can usually view multiple real examples on PCGS, which is super helpful for viewing the whole coin. Worth pointing out: in 15000 nickels, I have yet to find a verified CPG doubled die (although I have found one candidate, and a whole bunch of minor modern DDR nickels). They are few and far between.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 03/03/2024 11:56 pm @Brandmeister hunting nickels is one of the worst denominations for CPG-listed doubled dies, since almost all the major doubled dies in the series are on 30s-40s dates, which you don't get to see a lot of in circulation these days. Hunting pennies is easily the best bet for CPG-listed varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6623 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 09:37 am Sam, that's a fair point. However, hunting nickels has been pretty fruitful for the modern 2006-2019 DDRs. I just haven't been able to get into cents. Partly because of Zincolns, partly because $20 of pennies seems like much more of a time sink than $20 of nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
