<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 2091500, member: 41863&quot;]Pretty straightforward question. I was going through some raw coins I&#039;ve purchased this last year and happened upon a Roosevelt dime from 1957 that isn&#039;t showing up in CONECAs master listing. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure if it would even be recognized as a variety and I don&#039;t have the proper equipment for extreme magnification nor photography setup to even show you guys. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can describe what I am seeing and see if that helps any. The coin is a 1957-P Roosevelt. </p><p><br /></p><p>My reference points are on ONE DIME. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing I noticed was an irregularity of the bottom left serif on the &#039;D&#039;. About a third from the bottom it splits and separates off to the left and forms a triangle starting at 2/3rds down the straight side of the &#039;D&#039; and widening as it goes to the bottom. It&#039;s what I imagine a split serif to look like without actually ever looking the term up. </p><p><br /></p><p>The same diagnostic is visible on &#039;I&#039;, the outside left leg of the &#039;M&#039;, the inside right leg of the &#039;M&#039;, and the left side of the &#039;E&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also visible to the left of the &#039;E&#039; in ONE as well. There&#039;s a little more visible on the &#039;N&#039;, and then a shadow that makes the &#039;O&#039; look doubled on the outside bottom edge of the &#039;O&#039; almost where it touches on the bottom and the inside of the loop also at the bottom. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if that description makes sense, but it clearly looks like doubling, and not machine doubling either. </p><p><br /></p><p>I may be looking at a discovery piece, but I have no clue on how to proceed with this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
