that almost looks like grease hub doubling, nice find!

 

get one of the usb microscopes off ebay for 15-20 dollars. Make sure its shipped from USA. They work wonders when it comes to photos I liked mine so much I bought a backup, and a friend also bought one. The place i got them no longer offers them, but i did a search, there is tons out there.

 

it may be.

 

I am getting a computer and a camera soon.

 

lets see the back of the coin.

 

between my phone, and my scope....its all i need. You could make a stand for your phone, mine is best 10 inches above coin, lights from everywhere, and zoomed in off my phone. the scope can take about 75% of the coin...so i am covered, and cheap. PC....really? get a cheap laptop for $200

 

It is called "Worn Die Doubling." It is interesting and very common. Yours is a very nice example...I want it

Have you tried to borrow a copy of The Cherrypickers Guide as I suggested?
There is an explanation (w/photos) of all types of doubling.

If you live in a city with a coin dealer, he/she probably has one you can look at (Appendix A) without buying. If you catch him/her during the week when there a fewer customers, the dealer will probably give you a lesson on these coins in order to keep you interested.

 

I am working on getting that stuff. A laptop and a camera are coming from a friend of mine. The coinshop closest to me does not have a cherrypickers guide that I know of. Not one I can buy anyway. I can order one online when I get the money. There is a lot of things I need still. I am just getting started.

 

That's a nice find Shelia! Great going! Wish I had the time to search rolls like you do. By the way, what do your kids think of your coin collecting and roll searching?

 

That is an impressive level of die wear for 2015; you'd think they would have better control of die life by now. Perhaps it didn't harden properly and wore faster than expected. One full day (24 hours) of striking should be about the lifetime of a die.

 

They like to play with the coins. Lol, I don't mind.

 

Wow, that is cool to know!

 

here's a 2015 DDO!

 

its called "DDD - die deterioration doubling" http://www.error-ref.com/?s=Die+Deterioration+Doubling

 

Not the one I posted sir.I know I have a cheap scope so you really can't see all the details,But in hand with a loop you can clearly see the split lines and all of the secondary numbers shifted east.

 

Gosh, I am learning all kinds of new numismatic terms here..
grease hub doubling
Worn Die Doubling

Guess I need another 50 years of collecting so I too can be smart. The Dime in the OP post is Die Deterioration Doubling. I was recently sent 7 rolls of them to go through and they were all the same as the one shown above. That die should of been retired long before it was.

 

Great to know! Thanks!

 

i never heard of "grease hub doubling" and neither has error-ref dot com and "Worn Die Doubling" is the incorrect terminology for "DDD"...
