*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Check out this 1974 DDO Roosevelt dime with Full Bands. I've been unable to locate a similar one. Would this be considered a rare find in your opinion?

That appears to be Machine Doubling, based off the shelf like doubling and reduced devices. There are also no doubled die dimes listed for 1974. We also can't determine if it is a full bands without a reverse picture. 1974 P full band dimes are practically none existent so it would be rare, but we can't determine if it is a full bands without the reverse picture |

I apologize. I thought I included it but sent you a duplicate photo of the obverse . Here's a couple photos of the reverse showing the bands. Also, if I sent it in for grading would they confirm if it is actual doubling verse Machine Doubling?    |

If you sent it in for grading, it would have to be a known doubled die for them to tell you, and they wouldn't specify on if it's Machine Doubling as it's extremely common and doesn't add any value. If you ever want a variety attributed, you should post it in the variety section here or if you want you could send it to someone who attributes varieties for a low cost. I also doubt the dime would make full bands from the pictures, and from considering the fact 1974 FB dimes are practically none existent. but the bands are pretty prominent for a 1974. Let us know if you do send it in for grading. Edited by SilverStackerKid

Possible new find? The doubling is so prominent . If you send a coin in for grading and variety attribution and there is no doubling for the year of the coin you sent in noted on any catalogs, cherry pickers, wexler etc... what do you think the odds would be of the coin being certified as a DDO? Just wondering if you knew how they go about updating a new find in the variety attribution fields. |

I find it hard to spend more money to have something certified that cost more than the coin is worth. People do it all the time and realize later that it is not profitable. You already have my opinion, it is your decision to proceed to what you want to do.

Not just specifically for this coin. Any coin that does not have the variety attribution or doubling listed in a catalog. In your experience have you known of a coin being certified as a DDO or a DDR if it's not a known DDO or DDR. |

It does happen sometimes. But there is no way your coin is one. Why? Because the devices are normal sized. Note on the CONECA site that since 1970 forward there have only been 4 years/mints with doubled dies. 1970-73-S mints (Proofs) and a 1989-P mint. Note these years on this chart: http://www.varietyvista.com/07%20Ro...Listings.htmOnly a total of 7 dies that were doubled dies on the obverses. http://www.varietyvista.com/07%20Ro...Listings.htmTotal of 15 DDR's during that time. Take a look at the DDR's listed to see what is a doubled die. Then you can save your eyes when the areas affected don't show doubled dies. Edited by coop
