    Hi Guy,
    I looked at all of the pictures and I think you are right - there does seem to be some minor doubling. How visible is the doubling to the naked eye? It's pretty apparent in the magnified pictures. I wish I were more of an expert in error coins and could help you more. Hopefully, one of the error coin gurus will answer for you. They sometimes can see things that I don't. From what I saw in the pictures though, I would consider them doubled.

    Yes, I can see evidence of doubling. Of course, there are different kinds of doubling, some valuable and some not.

    What I find most interesting, is the letter "W" in the word "WE".
    Anyone else see what I'm talking about?

    Yeah, I saw that on both the nickel and the dime. Do you think it's a cud? It looks to me like it was something that was overstruck.

    No Susan, it's definately not a cud.

    There is a 1964 Roosevelt dime variety listed as:

    K10-60 Double point "W" in "WE" with dot
    Spadone 980d

    I wonder if that's what it is?
    There also appears to be some sort of dot to the left-center of the "E" in the word "WE".

    And this is where I bow to the experts and listen and learn. :D

    Guy -

    I looked at these pics when you first posted them. At the time I was kind of hoping someone else who knows about errors would respond. I wasn't just ignoring the post. In my opinion - the doubling on this coin is another example of machine doubling - not a doubled die.

    Now since I am not an error collector - I have never heard of the variety that Jody mentioned. He may well be correct as that particular diagnostic could not be the result of machine doubling. So - you may have something there after all :confused:

    Well, just beginning to collect error coins, I have although, read books upon books on errors, this error looks to me as if it is actually just die fatigue....In fact, I'm pretty sure it is, it has all the tall tell signs of it, a lot of Roosevelt dimes from the period of the 1980's, especially 82's, have this die fatigue, in fact, I have a 3 cent piece that has die fatigue, you should have seen my face when I thought it was a double die :D . And, yes, jody, i've heard of that before...I'm not too familiar with it though, it may be that, or perhaps damage that has caused a spot or two to be risen. All in all, my personal opinion, backed up by countless photgraphs in my head, is die fatigue, not a double die.

    Guy...Your coin looks like machine doubling, not from a doubled die. Check out http://koinpro.tripod.com/. Ken Potter has a very good article in the Educational Image Gallery, "Doubling: Distinguishing the Valuable From the Worthless".

    Your coin is the result of a die that was used for too long and the doubling is known as Die Deterioration Doubling.

    It looks like damage to the coin after leaving the Mint to me.

    It's possible this is a early strike thru that has smoothed out during circulation. From the marks on the lower cheek too it may be a defective planchet.

    This one appears to be minor die chips inbetween the numerals. Because they are so close together this are of the field was probably suseptable to chipping.
