Long story short, early retired stay at hme dad that picked up the hobby of piggybank coin hunting and RCH.

came across these 3 dimes with roughly the same DD look, but the DD is only on the Latin motto and olive branch. the third example is more extreme and appears to have something different going on, hard to tell if its considered circulation wear and tear or if it maybe grease, or a weak punch?

pics in order:
1998 P R.Dime
appears to have light doubling? and maybe weak die strike in "in god we trust"?
2004 D R,Dime
has what appears to be light doubling? around the lettering, is that due to reflection or something to do with the die rounding the edges?
1985 P.Dime
The "Lu-RIB-U" in the latin on the 85' are on a raised field/ontop of lettering? blending into the torch.
not entirely sure if the lettering across the 85, is due to circulation, or if something else is going on.

so any and all insights/explinations would be extremely helpful with these 3 coins, if the DD is rare or common on the Reverse side. So far ive been having fun observing coins and scrutinizing them, no clue if they are valuable, since ebay is full of questionable stuff on pricing and not every coin is an exact copy of other errors.

thank you for your time reader!

@dfo, we generally prefer to have you post one coin per thread so that we can give each coin the attention that it deserves. With that said, it looks to me like the doubling you see on the rev of the first two coins is Machine Doubling rather than a doubled die. The doubling is steplike and seems to reduce the width of the devices.

@spence thank you for that pinned link, yes it does turn out that the 98' and 04' are the result of mdd, there was an exact image of what I was seeing on the olive branch and torch. the 85' though appears that its a genuine DDR along the latin motto, and I'm wondering if those are die chips along the olive branch as well. as for the lettering, would that be extreme DDD? how the top of the letters almost blend into the field/rim?

Generally two ways: circulation flattening and having been struck from a tired die.

None are errors - just normal minting problems as described above!.
