Mercury Dime question

Check this '3' out in the date 1939 for this Mercury Dime. Doesn't look like mechanical doubling to me, what
are your opinions? Getting ready to send a couple more to Coneca and I may send this one with it. The doubling
does not continue to the end of the 3's base, but stops short. Also I imagine I can see a shadow of a nine to the
east, but I may be reaching.
Thanks for your help.
Jim

    Look at the outside of your last "9"...

    The bottom of the 3 certainly looks notched.

    Doesn't matter. It is NOT a fancy DDO. Just Die Abrasion. Still cool though.

    It's an overdate ... 1939 over 1980 ... look really close ... squint ... and use your imaginary. imageimage
