<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 729079, member: 15199&quot;]Hi Gail and welcome to the forum. It does have some doubling on the date as you say, but it is machine doubling rather than being from a doubled die. I see a lot of this on the war time mercury dimes. The obverse die with just the single image of the date was not secured properly, and when the coin was struck, the date appears to &quot;smear&quot; a little, producing a flattened area next to the regular image. This can happen to other areas besides the date, but the flattened secondary is the give-away. No special value over the regular for it, but nice that you found it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
