When you look at listings of doubled dies, there are very few obverse
DDO dimes after 1973. They are pretty much not happening on this series. Often it is die wear,
Machine Doubling issues. So study the know examples to see what a doubled die looks like on this series. There are a few
DDR's lisings post 1973, but you are not looking in the right areas of the post 1999 dimes. The post 1999 coins are more of a Single squeeze die issue because of the way the die is created. When looking at this series of
DDR's know what areas, how they are affected, and realize the devices are not the areas you are looking for
DDR's on.

http://www.varietyvista.com/07%20Ro...Listings.htmJust like a map, look to see what you should be looking for on these for doubled dies. You will realize what is happening on these doubled dies, and that there are hardly any listed examples. I've given up on this denomination for doubled dies post 1973. But take a look to see what you are missing, then your eyes will know the areas to spot these few doubled dies on the dimes.
A doubled die can only happen if the die is doubled.
Machine Doubling and die wear are alterations of the designs. They are not doubled dies. On a doubled die, the devices will be wider than normal, not reduced in size making the devices smaller. Die wear and die polishing can reduce or affected the devices in a certain direction. (always towards the outer rim direction) This applies for all coins, but dimes are pretty much duds. Example?


Note what you should be looking for on these.

So train your eyes as to what to look for on the 1999 dimes forwards. Pre 1973 dimes will have some listings, but between the 1974-1998 dimes, they doubled dies are very sparse during that time period. So know what your looking for to find the
DDR's.
Why can't I find the dime doubled dies? CoopHome:
