Best DDD I've seen so far

This is the best DDD I've seen so far personally.. I know it's not worth anything or nothing..I'm just sharing with you guys. I think it's kinda cool because of how severe it is.. even tho you cant even tell in the pics... it's hard to get pictures showing the doubling. But every letter and number, except for "E PLUBIRUS UNUM", is severely doubled.. I have seen many like this with only the date or a few letters but not every letter on the outer side of the coin... but I just thought I would share this with you.... these are the best pics I took and you really cant even hardly tell how much its doubled..... I just think it's kinda cool.

It's very common on these things.

I'd be more interested in on what's happening here...

 

I think it is very odd that there are die chips in the main design element of the Roosevelt dimes.

 

Nice, all sorts of die chips!. Coin also shows extreme die wear (note the radiating lines from center to edge on obverse). Such wear can produce MD. Still it is a nice error coin.
Gary in Washington

 

The radiating lines are on the reverse too..

 

Those are die chips. I've got probably 80 of those. But this dime has such a worn die to make so much of the coin doubled from the deterioration, this is the 1st one I've had that was so doubled.... from the deterioration of the die.... I wish I could get pics of ot. But it must be my lighting cuz you can see them fine without a magnifying glass.

 

Also, I know its common.. I personally just ty think it's cool cuz it's the 1st one I've seen so doubled

 

Just remember that it is considered worthless doubling and not a true Doubled die variety.

Lots of die chips, NAV doubling and a slight MAD.

 

I’m kind of new to error coins... Can someone please explain what DDD and die chips are?

 

I'm still learning but I dont think theres any MAD because all the doubling Is shadow like. There are no raised parts of doubling... it's not shelf like

 

I know I just think it's cool. Cuz it's so much doubling.. it's like shadows

 

I'm pretty new too, so I'm sure someone can explain this better than me but, Die chips are chips that break off in the die from wear and tear and when it strikes the coin the metal where the crack or chip is does not get stuck and creates bumps or die chips like you see on the circled parts of the pictures up there.. and DDD is die deterioration doubling. Which is worthless and very often confused with doubled die errors... Die deterioration doubling is caused from the die being deteriorated from so much use it causes doubling.

 

Oh okay. Makes a little more sense now. Thanks.

 

DDD I'd Die Deterioration Doubling and it's worthless.

Die Chips are a small chip had occurred on the Die. When the Die Mints a planchet into a coin in leaves a raised spot on the coin.

Your dime exhibits die chips in the hair, eyebrow and on the face in general. There is a good sized chip on the right handed leaf.

If you look at the obverse, around the date, the rim is a wee bit thin while opposite that the rim is a bit wider. That is a MAD. As I said, Mis Aligned Die. Another sign the Die is worn out.

All of these are common and add no value or too small a value to be concerned with.

 

so how much is an average die chip worth?

 

Is an example of a die chip when the D mint mark is filled in?

 

Nothing

 

Sorry. I guess I read it too fast or got the 2 confused but I thought you said MD. Machine doubling. Lol yea I know about the die chips and mis alignment. I'm more intrigued about how much doubling there is. And I known its worth nothing, I've said it 5 times now lol, I just think its cool cuz of how much and how severe the doubling is .... which u can hardly tell from the pics.

 

I recently acquired a Jefferson Nickel with extreme DDD. Funny thing about this coin, this is about as good as steps come on a 54-S, and for there to be that much step detail on a coin struck from tired dies is truly amazing.
