Dsrn1 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/04/2021 12:35 am so I have a 1997 P dime that I found interesting and I could use some input, wexlers had no listing of this year so its up to the knowing eyes of the community to help me out Look at the third picture, on the right leaves on the top edge is where I am seeing what could be doubling of either machine or die so the second of the cropped images is just on odd dip of some sort but the third is a different dime all together added to show the space the olive leaves usually have, sorry for the lighting/lack of arrows or circles but ill work on getting the right programs asap. thanks in advance for any input Edited by Dsrn1 02/04/2021 01:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/04/2021 12:46 am to CCF Ok.... I am just now editing my reply....LOL.... After reading the title of your post (been a long day). I don't see anything abnormal with any of the pics you posted. Other than Post Mint Damage ( PMD) and normal wear and tear such as dings, knicks and scratches, it looks like a normal circulated dime. I believe it is more of a Die Deterioration issue with anything else you are seeing on this coin and possibly some MD to throw in as well.

Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/04/2021 01:00 am I see what you are talking about. I would have to say this is DDD and the result of an overly used die. Report this Post to the Staff
Dsrn1 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/04/2021 01:03 am DDD, I'll have to look into what that means but either way it's going in my collection Report this Post to the Staff
Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 02/04/2021 01:09 am DDD means Die Deterioration Doubling. On the left side of this forum screen is a glossary of terms. I'm sure that it's in there. Also, just Google the term and it will show you numerous examples of this subject. Hope this helps. Good Luck! Report this Post to the Staff
