toservegod New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 9:13 pm Thanks in advance for looking at this post. I found a 1940-D Mercury dime with strong doubling. I can't seem to find it in any of the books. I have attached the best picture my phone can take. The date and the 'LIBE' in Liberty and even left of the wings on the head details show doubling. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The devices have been reduced in size and it's shelflike in appearance. http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
toservegod New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/21/2018 9:42 pm Thanks! I have got a lot to learn. I even had a couple coin shops look at it. So I guess for a MD, it probably isn't pronounced enough? Are they worth anything more than being a Mercury dime? Edited by toservegod 06/21/2018 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
