CoinNewb8 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 02:05 am I took a 1981 Dime to my USB Microscope and see what looks like a double die when I zoomed in. I see that it has a Die Clash resulting on what looks like a triple rim by the word liberty. There appears to be a double die in all the words in the obverse of the coin, (Mint Mark, JS, In God We Trust, Liberty) and the ear looks to have extra lines than it should. The back looks fine aside from what looks like a faint S or B on the Torch by the other letter but not sure. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/20/2019 10:53 am Some letters do appear to be doubled. Many also appear to be just what is called Machine Doubling. Either way, nice find. Please post photos right side up so I don't have to turn my monitor over again. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/21/2019 12:56 am The lines on the fields is extreme die wear. The devices are damaged probably form vending machines and counting machines. Pretty much a spender. No premium. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
