bottimurillo90 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 08/10/2017 11:15 pm Hello, was wondering if you would give me your opinion on this 1987 P Dime. It looks to me like a double die but not sure. On the word Liberty and on the reverse E. PLURIBUS.UNUM some of the letters look double. Also looks like a lot of Cud on the last letter of America. And it appears the word DIME looks puffy. Just your thoughts please. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

That coupled with late die state metal flow moving outwards causes devices to stretch out as well. Just an exceptionally worn die pair, both sides affected. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/11/2017 10:36 am VLDS. The devices are showing so much wear that they are starting to distort in shape. (Tend to get wider the closer they are to the rim area) Report this Post to the Staff
