1936-D DDO Mercury dime

Blackhawk

Does anyone know if this 1936-D DDO Mercury dime is listed anywhere? I can't find out anything about it.

Can we see an image of IN GOD WE TRUST?

Here are the photos of IGWT. I had to split up the lettering to get decent close-ups.

My thought without seeing it in h and is die bounce; however, I wouldn't rule it out as a DD. I think it needs to really be looked at. There is no 1936-D listed in cherrypickers, but there are many unreconginzed varieties in Mercury dimes. Study the coin carefully you are looking for sharp points at the ends of numbers and letters.

Here is what a 1936 DDO date looks like. Look at the points of the 1 and the 9.



Here is my newly discovered 1939 type VI (lower left). Notice no doubling at all on the type VI just fat numbers.

Would you suggest sending it to a TPG, or is there someone else that does this?

If you can get better images you could email them to someone at CONECA. They may simply tell you not worth looking at or send it in to evaluate. Their fee is inexpensive. They looked at my 1939 to determine it was a new variety.
