So I am new to the whole coin error identification scene and was wondering if someone can help me identify what is going on with this Roosevelt dime I found. I know it has a Strike through because IN and We are missing from the "In God We Trust" motto but there seems to be other elements to it I am unable to identify. PLEASE HELP ME! Thank you to all who reply!

This is the product of a partially grease-filled die.

Yes I understand that but if you look at the word TRUST there is another letter that looks like an O in between the R and U. also to my eyes it looks like the motto and the date are doubled. I am just new to all of this and am really trying to learn about the things I see on coins. I'm sorry if I appear ignorant because, well frankly I am ignorant when it comes to errors.

Just a couple die flow lines touching the R and U. Notice how they all point toward the center of the coin.

This is caused by the same thing. Die Deterioration and Machine Doubling are the two most frequent culprits when newer members think they've found a doubled die.


Is there also a bit of a collar clash, or is that just a Rim Fin that's deformed along part of its length?

I don't see any clash marks from the other die do you?

Now lets see if I look a complete fool and post this wrong!!!

I think the grease die and finning are two things that happened to this coin.
Does it seem off center to anyone?

sorry for the delayed reply but the coin does have a collar die clash on it... the coin has that railroad edge and it looked off center to me as well... the picture doesn't really do it justice because in hand it looks really cool!
