    Looks like double stamped D and some type of hub doubling on left side of leaves plus extra part on left side of stalk. E looks doubled but not sure which kind that is

    Looks like a repunched mint mark. RPM. You should be able to look up the listing number. First punch south of second.

    I agree the first photo looks like a RPM on MM , if it is the same coin and I'm sure it is look at the second photo that looks like DDD. If you look close at it JMHO still learning also.

    You can find a copy of the Cherry Picker's Guide by Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton from a book seller or eBay and look up the variety. Some are very valuable, but most have some premium. Condition is very important.

    I just got a membership to Coneca too. Definitely getting the cherry pickers guide.thanks . I was watching coin opp on Google +and came across this1961 d dime. Wasn't even looking for it. Weirdest thing . It was the only one they found so far at that time . It was 6 months or so ago. I sent him the pics and info. Waiting to here back. :)

    Good find. Most doubling found is ejection doubling or die chatter. Slight vibration as the coin is being ejected from the press that causes a minor double strike. These are common and not valuable. Diubled dies occur in the process of putting the design into the die, and can be minor or major. The 1942/1 Mercury dimes were made when the die block was first struck with a 1941 hub. The die was softened for the second pressing, but the die maker accidentally grabbed a 1942 hub. It wasn't a 2 punched over a 1. The whole die was doubled.

    Doesn't look like an RPM to me.

    Looks like the common form of
    doubling.

    There is no separation of the MM's.,
    and the doubling at the bottom of the
    D is shelf-like - classic ejection/mechancial
    doubling, imo.

    I didn't see any doubling anywhere else, which is why I thought RPM. It is very pronounced and deep.
