Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 10:30 am For the last several weeks, I have been searching $50 in dimes in addition to my customary $20 in nickels. Each week, I generally find 1-4 modern doubled door DDR nickels. However, I have never found even a single dime with even tiny doubling on the center leaf. I had assumed that the find rate would be approximately the same. But I am also now noticing that nobody on this board ever posts about DDR dimes, and a handful of us post about DDR nickels. Are the doubled leaf dimes really that rare? Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 12:07 pm I searched a box of dimes once and came up with 1 DDR with doubling on the leaf. There are more years with the nickels than the dimes to find the doubling and I believe more different DDRs on the nickel than on the dimes. For example, for 2013, there are 11 DDRs on nickels but only 2 on dimes. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 3:20 pm VV has lots of DDRs listed for the Philly Mint from 1946 to 1967 - almost every year had at least one, Why are they so hard to find?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 4:32 pm Well, let's exclude everything before 1965. I've found a single silver dime in circulation. I was mostly talking about the 2004-2025 dimes. The listings seem to exist, but unlike 2006-2020 nickels, I have never found a single WDDR. I will keep looking, but like Snailking said, dime rolls seem to be boring to coin roll hunt. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 03/07/2026 09:45 am That's an interesting observation Brand. I don't search enough dimes to offer any insight. I've found other types of varieties on modern dimes, but they were by "accident", while looking over pocket change. Feeder finger scrapes and an incuse leaf (probably a "dropped" leaf from mint grease) come to mind. 2018P Feeder finger die scrapes 2016P extra leaf- Struck Through Grease Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
