joeboken New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 09:10 am Hello everyone, I have a similar 1986-P dime, the rim is also doubled on one side, I don't think it's MD. Does anyone know of any true double dies of this mintage? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 1:27 pm That year was probably when they started the single squeeze die process. Seem like doubled dies on the outside edge devices ceased when that happened. Most of the DDs are toward the center on the single squeeze dies most of the time now. Report this Post to the Staff
