Hi folks!
Kinda a newbie here. I've been doing a lot of studying and research, but still not enough! May I ask your opinions of this coin?
I found this 1978 P dime (no Mark) with what seems to be
DDO and some
DDR, and what looks like to be mechanical die damage from a clash along the date bottom?
Along the side, between 9 and 10 o'clock obverse side, is where I believe the doubling is clearest. The outer edge looks doubled with a little bit of reed on the inside of the rim, a second time.
The date seems to have been crushed or flattened in more than one way. 8 is totally flat, 9 and 7 are tapered.
The letter doubling has rounded corners on the upper layer edge of the letter, on LIBERTY and not squared like an MDO would be I think.
Thanks for checking and looking!
