Hello. Found a 1926 Mercury dime I wanted to get some opinions. It looks like there is doubling in liberty and on the date. Also on the back it looks like a CUD on the A in states. Was wondering if this is something I should send off to be graded?

Thanks for your time.

    Top of the A looks like a die chip.

    Have you ever owned a coin that you do not think is a double die?

    Yes, there is doubling (good eye to catch it). No, it is not due to a Doubled Die (which is what would be worthwhile).

    Also, most collectors agree that a cud involves a die break at the edge/rim of the coin. A break elsewhere is a die chip.

    That's a 'hit' on top of the A, imo.

    Not a die chip.

    Update: I just got back from the coin shop and they confirmed the doubling. They showed me the following article and my dime looks just like the doubling on the dime in the article. Mine is just not in as good of shape. Thanks for the replies guys..

    Are you talking to me? I just got into this. I am learning. I have also only ever posted 2 posts on this forum so not sure what that is suppose to mean.

    As I mentioned on another thread --

    Doubling does not a Doubled Die Make.

    I am not seeing any of the die markers that your link shows on the obverse of your coin.

    The obverse die does not appear to be doubled, but the dust might be.... ;)

    It looks exactly like machine doubling to me. If the coin shop person said you have a doubled die dime I would sell it to him immediately.

    Your coin is a 1926-D. The DDO you showed us in a 1926-P.

    Perhaps it's an added mintmark!
    :p

    Again, just because the coin shop 'confirmed the doubling'
    doesn't mean they confirmed it's a Doubled Die.

    There are different types, and causes, of doubling on coins.
