[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 597735, member: 4350"]I looked pretty carefully at the entire picture. There really is nothing there:-) You need to understand the shape and the size of normal lettering. The L for example is normal in width and it has a hit on it. If the coin had a spread like that on the L if it were a doubled die, The I would have a notch equally as large and it doesn't. That would be the same with the other letters as well. When I see a "good" one, I am always one of the first to say so. This coin looks like thousands of other Winged Liberty head Dimes that I've seen out there. If you get a dealer to say it's a doubled die, it would be a dealer who doesn't know what a doubled die looks like, I'm sorry to say. Even NGC recently sent a coin back to a person that I know stating that the coin was NOT the well known 1994 DDR Lincoln Cent seen in the CPG. They charged him and didn't slab the coin. He had to send it in a second time for them to get it right. The point is that unless this is a particular area of study by a dealer or even a grader, they are often clueless as to what they are looking at. That still doesn't take away from the fact that it is a nice 1936 S Dime. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
