tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/02/2023 12:16 am In a "when it rains it pours" moment, I went from having no examples of this die to having two examples. Both were cherrypicks, with one being spotted by a friend who put me onto it. I don't do much with Mercury dimes but this one caught my attention as VarietyVista notes they would like to see a specimen for updated photos and markers. When the first one came up I figured I'd grab it and send it in. Then the second one showed up in a different die stage and, well, now I had to have that one too. They are currently in a pile to go to VV. All the images are of the second coin, which is in quite high grade but is late die stage. The very last image is the MDS coin's date just for a bit of comparison. 1941 Mercury dime doubled die - DDO-001 And this is the date on the MDS example Report this Post to the Staff

The doubling on IGWT is plenty clear enough to me, although I would definitely struggle with calling the date doubled if that was all I could see.
