Some extremely knowledgeable collectors and error specialists have told you that it isn't a doubled die. However, if you keep insisting you see...
I just want to second what @lordmarcovan said. These ID tags can be very valuable if authentic. They are also easy to fake, so having it...
Based on the pictures you posted, your dime suffered some type of environmental damage after it left the mint. The previous post shows coins...
The reason die deterioration gets blamed so much in this forum, is that a lot of inexperienced collectors post pics of them, thinking they're...
Learned something today :woot:
@BooksB4Coins can be cantankerous, brusque, and contentious, but I wouldn't really classify him as sesquipedalian. Plus he does know a little bit...

What @ken454 said....
From your pics, It looks like a scratch/gouge. I think I see metal displaced at the bottom of the mark General rule: Indented, with raised,...
A defect in the strip that wasn't caught when it was rolled to thickness. When the 3 layers are go through the cladding process, it's not hard...

I agree that this is a possibility but wouldn't it appear as a struck through and not a lamination? I think we are getting a little off track...
