Die deterioration channels on top of overlapping images?

[signofthedimes]

I just found a 2007P Roosevelt dime and on the reverse, the highest triplet cluster on the right side of the dime has cast deterioration channels onto the third and furthest right of the 3.



Has anyone heard of this? Deterioration cannels not onto the field but onto another overlapping image?

Apparently after consulting AI on Google, these things (wear channeling only on one side of a reverse face or obverse face and THAT wear channeling coming on another image and not in the field,) are signs of a counterfeit coin. I'll post pictures when I can.

It's strange I was lead to believe I was so sure because the creation of the die chips around the mouth just like a real dime were very normal looking.

I can see the counterfeiters used the sight of the die chips and they imply that they were a very common thing back in 2007 but they didn't become a very common thing on the face of a dime until about 10 years later.

They used what was recognized now.

It's hard to believe anyone would spend the time and effort to create counterfit dimes... Even if you made many of them it's difficult to imagine breaking even.
I remember a few years ago someone robbed a semi truck loaded with dimes from the mint when the truckdriver stopped for a coffee or lunch. The theives got caught trying to spend them in the following weeks! Imagine trying to pay for everything with rolls of dimes

I'm excited when I think of finding one. The knowledge I've learned about the famous older nickels, and the extensive numismatic variety detailing they've gone through. I can't remember the name of the person who is making those fraudulent nickels through those years but I was trying to chase them for a little bit and and look for the correlating die factors. I know they're not easy to come upon. So if I can actually know that I ran into a counterfeit coin, I count myself lucky.

Heres a link to an article on the Henning nickel. As suspected it was not a profitable venture.
