<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 100638, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>On the 1941 dime, I would need a better picture of the date.&nbsp; a slightly different angle.&nbsp; Its tough to tell from the picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the coins with the &quot;extra lines&quot;,&nbsp; It is a form of mechanical doubling that is isually caused by what is called die chatter.&nbsp; When a die is a little loose, it hops around during the strike.&nbsp; It shears the metal in unusual ways around the edges of details on the coin.&nbsp; That is what gives it the telltale &quot;step like&quot; appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the proof quarter, it is not unusual to see doubling like that as the coins are also subject to mechanical doublings.&nbsp; Being struck more than once as proofs are can contribute to that as well.&nbsp; Also, a die chatter situation can also occur on proof coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
