stgeorge New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/05/2015 7:10 pm Hi. My first time at posting. Been viewing for about a month now and find this site has many an expert in coin identification. Hats off to all. Anyway, I recently found this 1916 Barber dime and I noticed the either dbl strike s, off set, etc. or whatever it may be. I have been unable to find any info on it. Lastly, does it have any extra value based on the error if in fact it is what it is? Coin if in very nice shape. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments. Report this Post to the Staff

Link to definition (at bottom of glossary): https://www.davidlawrence.com/books...-a/glossary/ I'm one of the Barber fans here and I specialize in the dimes. (Can't afford the halves and quarters!) Check out the link in my signature - the BCCS is a great resource. Edited by matthewvincent 06/05/2015 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Strike doubling/machine doubling damage adds no extra value. Hope you'll stay and continue enjoying the site. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/08/2015 9:19 pm Looks like an RPM for the mint mark. Also, sort of some Machine Doubling on those leafs on the right. Still, all in all, nice coin. And yes, some people would pay extra for that RPM. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/09/2015 08:18 am A clue in determining Strike Doubling as apposed to hub doubling is if the coin was minted before 1990 and the doubling is present on the mintmark and other devices on the coin and showes inthe same general direction then in all likelihood it is a type of Strike Doubling. Before 1990 the mintmark was placed on each individual working die after any doubling would have already been impressed. 1990 and after the mintmark was a part of the master hub and could show the doubling of the other devices Edited by stoneman227 06/09/2015 08:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
