Here are two images of a 1941-D Mercury Dime Obverse.

Please tell us what you see as far as the doubling goes.

I have my opinion, but I'm keeping it to myself for now.

    Looks like die erosion to me.

    I do not see any separation in the serifs, meaning I think it is machine doubling.

    I don't know if it was on ebay. He contacted my through my website and through PMs.

    Now, for my opinion.

    The coin is machine doubling. You can tell by the flat shelf and the lack of split serifs.

  • Hi

    First off I want to Thank fcloud for posting the pictures for me here... for some reason I wasn't able to upload them.
    So I do appreciate the help!!

    The coin was NOT on ebay... I too agree with everyone that the coin is MDD/shelve doubling. The only thing I had
    questioned was the way the 1 in the date came up out from behind the other 1 (at the top)...
