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.

    Common strike doubling.

    Top of the A looks like a die chip.

    I think it's just lint on the flip. He photographed through the plastic. Look at the other photos.

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

    You know my attorney friend used to tell me you throw enough crap on the wall some will stick.

    Machine doubling and a die chip... Cheers, RickO

    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.

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

  • RogerBRogerB Posts: 8,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

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

  • JcldJcld Posts: 449 ✭✭✭

    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.

    You need a better coin shop. :smiley:

    I see no doubling on your coin that is akin to the genuine article. Do you see how rounded the second image is in the Wexler photo? That is emblematic of a doubled die. At best, I see a flat ledge which could be MD or simply damage.

    And, the one thing you really should have noted but didn't: Your coin is a 1926-D. The DDO you showed us in a 1926-P.

    IT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE COIN IN THE LINK.

    You need a better coin ship. :wink:

    Perhaps it's an added mintmark!

    send it to PCGS and see if they agree with the coin shop

    Or an extra rare discovery coin. You'd think Fred Weinberg would want a one of a kind item like that. :smiley:

    You might want to change your screen name to this phrase. :wink:

    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.

    It becomes hard to believe that ALL doubled die newbies are so pig-headed. Doesn't anyone ever take your word for it? I mean, you've got at least a year or two more under your belt than they do. :wink:
