Is this 1936 Dime a Doubled Die?

Or just strike doubling? Any added value for it? Thanks for any input!

    Looks like strike, but I don't know a lot about Mercs.

    Do you have a closeup of the IGWT? What I see in these initial photos looks like strike doubling.

    It's slightly out of focus, but let me know if this pic works.

    Strike doubling. The coin does not exhibit plain to see split serifs'

    Thanks, I am going out on a limb and say that yes you may have DDO-001/FS-101, combined with some strike doubling. The problem is that your coin is so worn that many of the PUP's are not showing, however, many of the letters in IGWT are a good match. Also, your coin has the "dot" above the designer's initials which is a marker for this DDO.

    I'm just not sure without the split serfs on the date if it would be recognized by a TPG or not.

    It appears to machine doubling to me... I would not submit it, but your money. Let us know if you do submit it, and the results. Cheers, RickO
