    Here is a 1964 dime that is DDR. I need an opinion on type and grade. All help is greatly appreciated. It has doubling on America and Dime.

    I see nothing. Perhaps if you post pics taken straight on instead of on an angle and describe where you see doubling.

    Yep the only part of America that you can see, the A, looks like MD.

    There is doubling on the ES of states, of America, NUM and the fire on top of torch plus tree on left. I am trying to get better pics now. Thx for your replies.

    How can you tell if a coin has been cleaned? I found this coin in some pocket change.

    Nice pics. Rounded devices, split serifs. Looks like a DDR to me.

    You can tell the coin is cleaned by the many hairlines going in a particular direction. The coin does have a superb strike though and great obverse details but it's not a gradable coin. The coin is 90% silver though so it is obvious that it is not a coin to spend at face value.

    Thx Rickmp!!! Does anyone have an idea what it's value is? This is the 1st double die that I have found. I have recently become interested in variety coins. All info is greatly appreciated.

    The new images show several split serifs. I agree it's a DDR.
    The second obverse image makes me think it's been cleaned.
    Lots of hairlines running the same direction.
    Still a cool find.

    Glad to help.
    Can't speak to value except to say they are worth what someone will pay.

    If it has been cleaned will a grading company label it as a double die? This variety has a low population. If so would it be worth having it graded?

    They will label it a double die and that it has been cleaned. In the case of this coin it would come in a details slab. Are you looking to slab it as a "good luck" find?

    I'm new to coin collecting. To be honest I'm not sure what it is worth or if having it put in a slab will increase its value since it looks like a "cleaned" coin.

    having a coin certified does not increase it's value. At least it shouldn't anyway.(premiums for ms70 modern coins)
    However having it slabbed by PCGS or NGC will allow put this coin at fair market value. The reason for this is that a coin certified by the top 2 companies are guaranteed Authentic so there will be no doubt in the customer if you were to sell the coin. Whereas if it were to be sold raw you would get much less under fair market value.

    The cost of sending it in will eat up most of it's value.
    I would just put it in a good holder the way it is.

    It's not
    It's not just the "top 2" who guarantee their slabs contents to be genuine. I've been using SEGS and ANACS regularly and am very pleased with both companies.
