<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 446630, member: 4920"]Jello, that's interesting. Especially from the point of view of somebody who collects these and inquired on one. All I know is this reduction lathe doubling is pretty common on Lincoln cents, even on the newer ones, and, it shows up, principally, as a faint, secondary image, just off the bridge of the nose and around the tip (other places, too), and, you need a 10X to really see it, and, it's just something that happens as they go through the reduction steps. But, that's very interesting, how you're saying it shows up on dimes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Joe, I just thought I'd make sure you didn't just find this dime in "pocket change," and it's the only example you're looking at. Other than that, you know I know the frustration. Don't know what else to say, pal, except I think I'm getting closer to investing in one of those microscopes, too...so be forewarned, CoinTalk...watch out! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Good luck, though, and I hope you crack it.
