Sorry the pictures are not clearer, I used my USB microscope and it just does not give a very good picture....I think you should be able to see the double dye in, "IN GOD WE TRUST"...The date (2016) is pretty chewed up....What do you think?   *** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING.

I have been finding alot of these types of 2016 dimes, if I would have saved them all I would have had several rolls or more by now. Should I have been saving them?  |

Looks like a cladding peel also on the obverse?

 to the forum! Take a picture without the flash so we can see the coin's surface better without the reflection. |

I have found many of these as well, but just tossed them back - figuring VLDS?

As others have said, this dime was struck by a very worn die. This form of die wear is associated with incuse doubling as well as thinning of the affected design elements. I've taken to calling it "design devouring die wear" as the field portion of the die face has a habit of retreating as far as the deepest depths of the design recesses, sometimes causing those design elements to nearly disappear.

Thanks Mike. Another new term for die breakdown. "Design devouring die wear" sounds exactly what it is.  Edited by coop

Would there be any correlation to the single squeeze die era? Thanks, Doug.

Thanks Mike...And everyone else for their input...Very much appreciated here as I love to coin hunt but I am certainly not an expert!
Humm Halo...Second opinions?..From rookies?....Well that statement is screaming at me to respond...I thought the damage on that dime was caused by someone putting that dime in their back pocket and sitting on a dirty bus seat while they passed very raunchy gas...Over and over...I still think that's what happened..
