1981-D Roosevelt Dime Doubled Lower Face and Ear

[Novicetoerr]

Hello ALL again.

Youngest NVTE can't wait to show his latest find.
A 1981-D Roosevelt Dime with Doubled Lower Face and Ear. While rest of
Obverse and Reverse elements are also doubled.


Thanks again!

I see no doubling of the ear. I see a dark line running through the lower part of Roosevelt's face which seems to replicate the outline of Roosevelt's lower lip and chin. However, this may simply be a stain.

Thanks Mike!

The outlines are raised metal. All 3 NVTEs are very confident this is genuine
doubling. Youngest NVTE is taking additionalppictures in angles that will
show the raised metal, instead of stains. Will post as soon as he finishes.


Thanks again.

This is NVTEs follow-up response to Mike's comment.

First off, we apologize to Mike for our initial incorrect response. Mike is accurate as to the presence of stains along the outlines of the inner bust design.

So we further cleaned up and explored, and attached another photo of our analogy. Being novices, we used a normal coin for reference to make it easy for us to explain what we think is a confirmation of our initial Lower Face doubling assessment.

Pls correct us if inaccurate (plus use of wrong terminologies).

Thank you again.

If there is truly a bulge there, it would likely be due to die deformation. However, I remain skeptical as to whether there is any actual change in the normal topography.

Mike,
Thank you again for the feedback.

Our mistake and again apology... as we noted for our potential use of erroneous terms and expressions. On your quick assessment of no potential topography change, again, we agree. Thanks for correcting us.

What we should have stated... The 1981D doubled lower face outline(particularly the jaw area), made it look bulger or swollen than the non-doubled face of the 2005P (which should be the same for the non-doubled
1981 dimes). The stains were developed when foreign residues were trapped by the now doubled lower face outline (not by the increase of bulge/ thickness that we quoted) that you quickly caught as inaccurate.

We assume you agree on the doubling? All the other OBVERSE and REVERSE
elements have doublings that we indicated. In addition, this coin has minor offset. So lot of errors though we highlighted this face doubling as the most
significant.

Thank you again...NVTEs

Since there is no topographical change that could have trapped any dirt or led to any differential toning, I suspect your "doubling" is simply a random stain that triggered the face recognition software in your brain. In other words, it's merely a simulacrum of Roosevelt's face.

Hi Mike,

Have focused on the "bulging" only (have excluded the "doubled lower face outlines") on our correction regarding the topographical changes. But as we mentrioned, the "doubled lower face lines", which were clearly vible in our photos, trapped residues that eventually led to the stains formation along the outline of the doubled area. The "stains" actually is the evidence of the
presence of doubling.

The photos and our explanation (though at novice level) are the best we can
provide as evidence. Next step is sending for attribution to confirm.
