1944s dime date doubled?

Thanks for the link, Phil. There are other sites as well that show the same
effect and we have visited this topic on several occasions. Usually Flat
Field Doubling (FFD) or Machine Damage Doubling (MDD) can be easily seen
under 8X and there are some extreme examples available. Wexler and Flynn
explain the various types of true Hub Doubled dies in their book "Treasure
Hunting Mercury Dimes" that apply to all types of Hubs, not just Mercs. It
is a very comprehensive discussion.
It is interesting to note that MMD's are generally avoided by experienced
collectors but sometimes get quite a premium on eBay. I keep a couple
examples around as reference but won't pay anything extra for one. They are
pretty easy to find if you look. I guess the bottom line is collect what
you like.
Cheers!

magnificatiom to be a "doubled die", perhaps you should take a real
good look at Ken Potter's web page titled "Doubling: Worthless Or
Valuable? A Collectors Guide"
