FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 8:33 pm I have these 2 1954-D, dimes. They are likely from the same roll (their cert. numbers are consecutive) and both are graded NGC MS67. Could this be 'die' doubling or just 'machine' doubling. I am not aware of any variety for the 1954-D Roosevelt dime. Report this Post to the Staff

FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 01:57 am Do these images help? I don't understand how it can be Machine Doubling? Considering the differences between the two pictures, it looks like it is getting worse. Report this Post to the Staff

FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 4:53 pm OK, lets try this again. After having read, studied and re-read the awesome illustration and information in the above link posted by John1, I have another example... Here is the date on my 1861 Seated Liberty dime (Breen Type B-3322) The only variety information I have found is the Breen 'Type I, 5 Line Shield' & 'Type II, 6 Line Shield.' To me, there looks to be clear notching, especially at the bottom of the second '1.' Does that make this coin a doubled die or could it be an over date, etc... Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 5:14 pm I don't know much about your dime but my first thought is it's a re- punched date. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Rob213 Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 11:25 am Hey Flip, I believe the 1956 Jefferson is actually Die Deterioration and not machine or die doubling. As for the two dimes, I can't make it out too well, but I know that dime reverses along that left branch are pretty notorious for MD. I'm not sure why. Report this Post to the Staff
