I bought this dime the other week off line. I don’t know much about how to attribute something like this. I can’t find any other examples on pcgs of Ngc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

    What do you think QDO/R means?

    I hope you didn't pay more than a dime.

    A seller on eBay shows a photo of a feed trough full of those holders labeled INB.
    Another seller offers those same for a couple of dollars and makes $5.95 shipping. They seem to be BU examples. They turn up in my sewer searches mucho.

  • One person commented what do I think I have. I know even it were attributed it would not even be worth that much. I was just amazed at all the negative comments I received to start with. The one poster even named all the known wrong planchets.

    The truth is they were right to name those known and attributed planchets. But here is where I disagree with the broader community of coin so called experts. If you think for one minute that the Henning nickel was the only fake coin massed produced noticed I said mass produced. Then you are mistaken. Even now they don’t know for sure they got all of his coins out of the system. He was just one lone operator. Of course the coins they made are going to be close to all the tolerances. If they were easy to be distinguished then they would not get by with it very long.

    If one lone man could make a coin so good that even the government has to use such expensive test and more than likely destroy the coin to get it tested then answer me this how can the so called experts know for sure unless they perform the exact same test? The answer is they can’t.

    The same thing with the mechanical doubling when the shelves are worn down by regular wear how do you distinguish them from hub doubles? The shelves on the mechanical hub doubling are so small that they have to be seen with more magnification than 10x.

    I know the dies are recorded when they ware out and documented meticulously. But who’s to say that those same die didn’t produce a mechanical doubling in their life of use that was turned into in to what appears to be a hub doubling at the end of their service?

    I was just amazed at all the negative comments I received at my posting. I have been collecting and looking at coins a long time. I know the pictures are hard to see and even the best pictures are hard to identify and the coin has to be viewed in hand. But that coin is definitely mechanical die doubled and one comment asked when I referred to them as QDD if I even knew what that was. Well they have at least three different shelves on them are more than doubled so they are not actually double but actually have more than two. So my distinction between the two should have been obvious or maybe I should have explained more.

    Go back and read the comments everyone of the first ones with out even asking questions or explaining why just said it was nothing.

    I wonder how many coins that were tossed aside that were very valuable just because people like the ones that made those comments who had no more experience than everyone else made such comments?

    Even someone that has spent many,many years collecting coins can’t make those comments without the use of special equipment or at least having the coin in hand. Comments like those is what holds coin collecting back. A simple honest response would be enough.

    All they have to do is say yes you probably have one or its highly unlikely it might be but the only way to tell is have someone hold it hand. Don’t act like you can even tell or advise without having it in hand. It just shows your lack of understanding and knowledge.

    It would probably grow the coin collecting community by encouraging people to have their coins looked at. If there were more examples being submitted then there would be a need for more business to do it. Then the coin community would not be at the mercy of just a handful full of companies and experts.

    When you get such a few number of companies doing the grading then you risk having them being controlled by influential people that don’t want the number of coins being discovered because as we all know the more there are of a verity the less their worth.

    That is what this coin was about if you’re asking.

    Did you even read the analysis in that thread? It's not a DD either.

    I do not know what QDD stands for. Could you explain to me what the letters stand for and if it is something coming from the mint how it occurs?

    Going out on a limb here; quadruple die doubling.

    that "2022" find was not a doubled die.

    this one is just mechanical doubling too.
