There is most definitely 2 heads and one tails side on the heads side of the dime. How exactly would that happen? Animation to show the errors.    I cannot find anything like this on ebay. Matt |

Ok after some further observation I see that this is not a double die on the heads side it is a die clash because the other head is indented not raised while the tails clash is also indented over the head. So it is a Double Clash with head and tails I suppose? Any idea what the value of something like this would be?
Thank You,
Matt

The obverse does appear to have two images, like there was a slight rotation between strikes. I would think the reverse would show the same thing, though. This is one for Mike Diamond to look at.

jdavis, it seems that it was hit once with a clean strike then hit with a clash of another head then hit with a clash of the tails side of another dime. Is that simply a capped die error or is there more? This is the one that is raised like a normal strike. Matt Edited by Matchoo5050

coppernickeldaddy, how would we gather Mike Diamond's attention to get him to check this out? Would love to have it checked out further.
Thanks,
Matt

Doubling is possible from the rotation of the die cap. I thought of that after I posted what I did. That is really the only probably cause for the doubling. |

As several others have indicated, this coin was struck through a late-stage die cap.

Mike, how does it have an impression of another heads and tails side of a dime on the raised strike? Most of the images I see of die cap struck dimes have been impressed by the die cap and are very hard to see while this one has a raised Head and impressed head along with an impressed tails side.
Anything special? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Matchoo- I bet if you did a little research you would find your answer. Google Late stage die cap... I have seen some with alot more prolific doubling than yours.
Yours is nice btw

Thanks for the info guys. I have an offer of $50 from a local dealer is that reasonable? If not then what would you suggest my ebay title be for this Item? I was thinking 1900's Die Capped Dime. But should I add anything about the fact that a tails side of a coin clashed with it as well? Matt Edited by Matchoo5050

I think $50 from a dealer is a fair offer. Seems it would be about a $75 retail coin...IMO

I decided to put it up on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/11093144109....m1555.l2649I am hoping someone would like this one because it is a little bit different from others I have seen because of the smudged head or whatever it is and tails clash. Again thank you all for your help. Matt |

I do believe I have one of the dimes that did this. My dime looks like a double struck coin. I say that because it's thick. Like almost double the thickness of a dime.Here are a few pictures of it. feel free to tell me what you think.I think I have one of the dimes the same batch as Matchoo5050. Hey mate want a full set? lol the first picture will be so you can see the dimes thickness. it is like that around the hole dime. And sorry I am not the best at taken pictures. Could not find the right lighting, so you can see that we do have a pair here.     |
