Found a 1967 dime that looks some what doubled. So I try to do a comparison on PCGS. They look nothing alike. Help appreciated! I'm sure u will see the one that is graded and record auction $600 with a DDO

    There appears to be doubling in the IGWT motto.

    Looks like machine doubling to me. Lips, nose also showing this. For the DDO, motto slight doubling only. Not valuable, my two cents.

    Just a beat up old dime. Strictly spending money. If you have to enlarge something that much and still have to wonder about it ... it just isn't important.

    No evidence of split serifs. It's either mechanical doubling of die deterioration doubling, both of which aren't considered errors.

    The following sites have a comprehensive listing of doubled dies. In the future, check them for an EXACT match

    The '67 FS-101 doesn't seem to be much of a DDO. Kinda flimsy. PCGS recognizes it, as does NGC, but it appears only two have been graded by PCGS and both are AU53 (the OP shows the one Stacks sold in 5/19).

    According to this website's description there is "medium spread on IN GOD WE TRUST, designer's initials (side by side), and date."

    If you could find other examples it may be possible to look for common traits (e.g., is the weak W in IGWT typical?). Below is a comparison of OP's coin and the Stacks' one.

    Even if it were determined to be an FS-101, based on the condition of the dime and considering the cost to get it certified, I'd be surprised if there was much of a spread if hoping to flip (and assuming you could find a buyer).

    I'd probably stick in a flip and mark it "FS-101?" and never look at it again.
