1919 mercury dime

[eardoc---40]

I purchased 100 Mercury dimes yesterday from a coin dealer. While researching the coins, I discovered a 1919 (no mintmark) that has a doubled date . I could see it with the naked eye, and it is very obvious with a loupe or by microscope. I am a member of Coneca. Could someone direct me to whatever page on this site that will inform me on how to submit this for verication. I am a relatively new member and have not yet submitted anything. The coin also appears to be double struck on LIBERTY. The second 9 of the date is the most obvious double with a slight double on first nine. Thanks----I would appreciate a reply:

Hi EarDoc and welcome to the forum.

Now to answer your question. The best place to start is CONECA home page: http://www.conecaonline.org/

Once there, take a look at the left hand column and find attribution services. That will tell you all that you need to know on where and to whom your coins should be sent. In this case, it would be James Wiles.

Hope that this helps.

It might be helpful if you can post a scan or a photo of the coin here first. Winged Liberty Head Dimes, (Mercury Dimes) are very prone to what is called mechanical doubling. That kind of doubling is not die doubling. Many times a picture can help in determining what you are seeing.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks, message noted and appreciated. The mechanical doubbling is very evident on LIBERTY, but the nine really looks doubled.

I do not think this is a mechanical double.

It appears that I have the same coin. The I an B are rotated. The serifs appear to be split on the I.
