Date on a 1996 Dime

What's on the date of this dime? Also, the letter "G" of God? I am trying to get a better and closer picture.
Thanks

Extreme MD. Cool example.

 

Sorry but what is MD?

 

Mint doubling.

 

:yes:thanks to you both. Gonna keep it for education.

 

That is nice doubling. Worth a pretty penny too!

 

Thank you Tyler. BTW Merc Crazy is Mint Doubling the same as Strike/Machine Doubling? I went over to Ken Potters Form of Doubling and saw an example of S/M Doubling.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say worth a pretty penny. It IS rather interesting, but machine doubling does not bring much of a premium.

 

Yes. I actually mis-typed that, I meant machine doubling, my apologies.

 

Machine doubling can actually negatively impact a coins value in some circumstances.

 

No apologies needed Merc Crazy. I just noticed that this coin I posted is pretty much thiner compared to other dimes. I don't have a scale to weight it, though.

 

I see a combination of machine doubling and die deterioration. Gives it the appearance of tripling.

 

This is what I meant when I said the coin is a little thinner. Also notice the difference in reeding. First coin to the left is a '95 followed by subject coin, 3rd coin is a '96, 97, 98, & '99 dime. Or am I just seeing things. Thanks

 

its worth 15 cents. Nice.

 

I like it, very nice example of Strike-Doubling, I would even go as far as to say that's the most extreme example I've ever seen. If you ever wanna get rid of it....

 

Thank you zach24. I have never sold a coin and right now I don't intend to do so. Nevertheless, should in the future I decide to do so, you'd get it.
Now, could it be there is a double strike due to the thinest of the coin? Does the machine automatically detect if there is a weak strike on the first run? Any feedback please.

 

Here is a quick explanation of MD:

Thank you gbroke.
