Checking my 1971 Proof Set now.

 

Great photos.

 

I like the "Mercury" Dimes and have just gotten into Roosevelt Dimes. My experience with dimes, is that most of them are very nice and hard to keep them Prestine. Both can be kept almost pristine if you protect them. I don't plan on having them graded. I bought the Mercury Gold Dime, as well as the Gold Standing Liberty Quarter, and the Gold Walking Liberty Half Dollar. I got them from the Mint and they are very nice.

 

Nice coin, but DDO? This is why I don't even bother looking for doubled die coins.

 

I like the design myself I'll take the DDO as an extra that's for sure .

 

Here's the write up on this one
Description: Light spread on date, designer's initials, and IN GOD WE TRUST.

 

I was going to visit VV to see class type. I was thinking possibly minor tilt given the closeups you provided.

 

I don't see it, what is the PUP?

Pick Up Point?

 

No markers for obverse or reverse

 

Variety Vista says light spread on date, designers' initials and In God We Trust. Personally, I don't see on mine or the above.

 

Class ll center doubling

 

Here's some info

Rick, I respect your dedication, but as Wexler says "Where the Class I doubled die variety has the doubling rotated about a central point, the Class II doubled die will display doubling that is spread either towards the center of the die or towards the rim." This is to me the same as " Die deterioration doubling" which is generally considered more as damage than the type 1 which is more procedural at the mint.

I only bring this up as many newbies think all "doubling" on a coin is significant and valuable, and they don't get much advice about the differences. I have great respect for Wexler's work with the real "Doubled die coins" but do not collect the machine made doubling. Coppercoins.com , Lincolncentforum.com list the true varieties but do not list the others. In all respect , Jim

 

I struggle at times to align with Wiles and Wexler on a number of listings. I acknowledge that these gentlemen have great spans of knowledge and experience and relative to the class of doubling established, look for the visual evidence to support their declarations. The font on some denominations and designs can make it difficult to see.

I’ve come to learn that Rick has a fine eye for true doubling. I tend to lend to his judgment on specimens even where I have trouble seeing it myself. A coin in hand is easier to confirm than from photos. This being said, I enjoy the challenge presented here. And the broader discussion especially from those that have developed an eye for spotting doubling. Learning opportunities.

Relative to this attribution and established class, I’m still struggling. Maybe if I squint a little harder…

Thanks for the discussion folks.

 

Kevin, you are kind! You are better at such diagnosis than I am. But, we are all handicapped by not having the actual coin in hand personally with good lens and lighting, so I never take "being wrong" as a really big thing. I admit having a few "discussions" with insider about some grading, but I can live with it! Take care, Jim

 

Sounds like there's a disagreement on the matter. It looks good to me anyways!

 

I just took new images for the doubting Thomas .
lol .
