This double-struck dime looks funny?

    You mean because the off-centered strike is oriented incorrectly? Perhaps a man-made "error"?

    Somebody please explain how this could happen at the Mint.

    Definitely not made at the mint.

    obverse, second strike appears to be a different die. Post mint strike?

    I agree. The second strike was made with a false die. I've never actually examined one in hand, so I could be wrong, but the reverse die left an odd ring/damage that I haven't ever observed on an off center or double strike. The details on the obverse also don't seem to match a genuine dime. And of course, as already mentioned, the alignment is wrong. This is probably the best indicator. And if I remember correctly, 1964 was a common year for false second strikes.

    That is awesome! What a great teaching piece.

    Show this to those who collect/are interested in errors what to look for in an authentic piece.

    "overcasted" ?


    What the heck does that mean?

    Agreed, can't be legit.

    It is similar in nature to this Chinese counterfeit.

    There are a lot of man-made counterfeits from the 194 time period. I do not remember the story behind it all. Someone here may be able to contribute. But, I am the "proud" owner of one of these multistruck cents.

    Great post and thank you. So, this had to be made with an over-sized planchet in the first instance?

    There's a lot of counterfeit D/S 1964 silver Dime and Quarter which had been manufactured by a jeweler in the 60's or 70's as I recall.

    Edited to add: The Quarters are more commonly seen.

    I'm very familiar with the late 1960's Counterfeit
    coins that originated here in Southern Calif.

    The counterfeits include 1963-D Silver Quarters,
    (and of course many No Date Silver Quarters), &
    1964 Kennedy Halves, (and No Date Silver Kennedys.)

    This particular dime shown, is not, imo, from that
    group - every single one of those that I've seen
    had the right orientation for the dies on the second
    (false) strikes.

    The '60's fakes are comparatively easy to detect:
    The coin's, especially the Halves, have a 'whitish,
    bleached, pale color' to them. They, and the quarters,
    show unusual metal flow that doesn't occur on
    normal mint-made off centers and double strikes.
    Also, the quarters, more so than the halves, have
    semi-prooflike surfaces on both sides.

    You didn't mention where/when you got it, but I'm
    certain it's not from this group I've discussed.

    The 180 degree die rotation, abnormal-looking collar scar, and heavy die cracks on the obverse face have led me to the same conclusion as everyone else -- a counterfeit second strike.
