but the image is not reverse on the 'coin' above.
The olive and oak branches are on the correct sides, and you can clearly read "Unite States of America" especially the 'ATES OF AMERICA' part.

You're right, Dearborn. I didn't look closely enough.

Hmmm. I was thinking of applying it to only one side of the dime at a time, not full immersion.

Well then, it might be time for an experiment.
