Propelsiphon30 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 1:14 pm I think I found the rare 1926 DDO Mercury dime. Never seen an anacs slab say Machine Doubling on it. Never seen any slab that doesn't say DDO on it. Hopefully I have the real deal here. Anacs has only graded one. Look at the doubling in god we trust. Anacs and NGC have both graded one already. I think there are only 3 or 4 out there that are known. I saw one going for 10k on ebay. 1919 and 1926 are the two rare ddos for Mercury dimes because they dont exist. I would like your opinions on this coin. I should get it attributed? I dont want this to be simply Machine Doubling and it worth nothing. Even on the w for the marker it's got doubling if not tripling going on. Friend said it was Machine Doubling. I disagree. Edited by Propelsiphon30 02/21/2020 1:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 2:38 pm Wexler lists two WDDOs: http://doubleddie.com/1771404.html But from the images provided, I'm not seeing a doubled die. The date looks like it might be showing Machine Doubling or die wear? (A closer view might help to identify it?) Edited by coop 02/21/2020 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Propelsiphon30 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 2:43 pm This is with it zoomed. If it's not a DDO then what is this thing? You're telling me if I send this coin in to anacs it's going to grade a notation with " Machine Doubling"? I've never heard of that. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 4:09 pm Date looks MD to me. I do not know how anacs would label it. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 4:40 pm Its Machine Doubling, not a doubled die. Grading companies don't designate Machine Doubling, so it would just be graded as a normal dime, because that's what it is. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 5:12 pm with the above. Your coin has Machine Doubling, not a DDO. ANACS would not label it as anything other than a 1926 Dime if you sent this to be graded. Here's the real 1926 DDO: http://varietyvista.com/06%20Mercur...6PDDO001.htm Report this Post to the Staff
