Jedmill New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/05/2016 12:23 am I'm trying to figure out what the technical term is for a coin like the one on the right. It has some doubling in the letters of In God We Trust, but the part that throws me off is the 2016. It's not raised up like normal, it's pressed in, almost like it was engraved. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

For some reason dimes have been turning out this way. Whether it's just the way the die was made or they aren't replacing them I don't know. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2016 2:43 pm Thanks aristarchus123. An image shows so much more than a 1,000 words trying to describe what you are seeing. So I use them. I have over 5,000+ images on my image host that I use when the need arises. Good to hear you enjoy these. A large number of images comes from various sources. I note who took the image on each image and add the sites it was from. Report this Post to the Staff
