Firebird17732 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 5:24 pm Is it possible to distinguish a double-die on a poorly graded coin? Below is a black-and-white photo of a 1919 Mercury dime DDO from an internet search, then a pic of my coin. Thx! Report this Post to the Staff

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 6:41 pm I doubt DDO - looks more like a slight circulation hit with that part of the "S" flattened. EDIT - or metal pushed. Either or - just PMD Edited by Rothery 04/12/2021 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 04/12/2021 6:56 pm Looks like a circulation hit / contact mark. The doubling should still be clearly visible on the T even on an example in this condition. Report this Post to the Staff

I disagree with that point here is an AG3 that just sold for over $1,000.00 at a Stack's/Bowers auction. A similar graded non DDO would bring maybe $4.00 at most. https://www.PCGS.com/auctionprices/...562339844049 That said I think there needs to be more proof of the DDO and I'm not seeing it enough on your coin Firebird, sorry to say.
