2015-P DIME definition of stamping

not sure what condition causes this. it's a raised date just south east of the heavy stamped date.

    That effect seems to be everywhere - what does the reverse look like?

  • nothing on the back but yes the motto on the front has it as well. of course this is mostly by magnification

    It looks to me to be some bizarre form of machine doubling. It's definitely worth keeping.

    I am sure there is some die deterioration but also machine doubling since I think I see the same effect on the reverse.

    I just wanted to be sure it was not a coin that had been struck twice in the collar. @ErrorsOnCoins @FredWeinberg

    As a machine doubling coin, it is an extreme example and if I found it I'd keep it.

    I believe the above explanations are accurate, however, there also looks to be a die chip on the 5....Cheers, RickO
