1976 DDR Dime
Hello to all of you here. I have a DDR 1976 Dime and I can find no record of this error. I need help. I have more pictures with doubling in other words here as well but this one shows the doubling really well. Thanks for any input.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime - Cannot find it in references.
1. I had to correct your title so it would be meaningful for the forum's search function.
Please take the link I put inside your first post so you know what the forum guidelines are and no corrections will be needed in the future. Thank you!
2. Here is a way to find immediate answers when finding something you suspect is a doubled die, RPM, or OMM:
Please click the following link:
Immediate Answers - How to find your Doubled Die or RPM online
Note:
If you do not find your coin listed using this easy method, then you most likely have a damaged coin or other issues like (non collectable) machine doubling, die deterioration doubling, etc. (look these up at error-ref.com)

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
Thank you for the response. I read the guidelines and updated the post to show a full view of the coin. Thank you for correcting the title. I am new to coin hunting. I have looked at several double dies versus machine doubling and I still think this is more likely a double die. I could be wrong but I’ve inspected the coin closely and I can see notch marks that I’ve seen on other double die varieties. Thank you for your help though. I will review the guidelines again also.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
Doubled dies are not errors they’re die varieties. It’s very important to know the difference.
I agree strike doubling.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
Thank you for the info you posted on doubling. I have been looking closely at my coin with my lupe. If one was playing a card game and had a hand of cards where the tops of the cards were spread apart but the bottom edges were touching, that is how the letters on my coin appear with my lupe. So it really looks different than any of the examples you posted. So I’m still a little confused. I’m sorry to bother you about this. Thank you again.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
Check out varietyvista.com . No Doubled Die error variety exists for this year on the Reverse. This is how you know and because of the " shelf-like" appearance. I hope this helps some.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
As Sal said, check out varietyvista.com for confirmation this is not a doubled die.
One key clue to MD is that the sizes of the original affected letters/devices is made smaller. Here is a graphic I made to show this on your coin:
Die deterioration can also factor in. But in this case I want to point out something specific with MD. I understand when first encountering this subject there is a lot to remember.MycoinQs wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 1:18 am Thank you for the info you posted on doubling.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
You are welcome. Also note the MD was slightly rotational. As can be seen in the picture, look at the leftmost letter T. The base is unaffected but the upper portion is. Then look at the tops of the A, T, and E to see their tops also were smeared. Yet the bases of these letters were affected not so much.

Re: 1976 DDR Dime
Wow, I thank you too for that graphic. I didn’t even notice the shortening of the letters. I was focused on the width and was also confused.Earle42 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 6:53 pm As Sal said, check out varietyvista.com for confirmation this is not a doubled die.
