The more you search, the better you will become with recognizing the cornucopia of quality control issues all the mints have to offer. It is important to note that many 100's of thousands of coins have been searched over many decades by the collective group of members on this site and very few rare variety/error coins are found through general circulation. Fewer varieties/errors seem to be occurring at the mint over the last 20 years, so finding a new variety/error is tough for new/current coins and effectively impossible for older coins. There are fantastic resources available on the Newbie Coin Collecting Questions Forum that will help you in your numismatic endeavors: Good luck!

ThePhiladelphiaPenny Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 This is just a case of strike, or machine doubling. Caused by a lose die. On 5/13/2024 at 1:20 AM, piggymeu said: dam I give up Never give up. Keep trying. Just make sure to not be searching for that one million dollar error coin. You probably won't find one. Keep on goin. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 To learn how to distinguish coins struck from doubled dies from coins exhibiting strike doubling (a.k.a. machine or mechanical doubling) or die deterioration doubling, see the following: Double Dies vs. Machine Doubling | NGC (ngccoin.com) https://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html and links at the bottom of the page.

Denny Crane Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 There are no recorded instances of DDO/DDR 1966 Roosevelt Dimes. There is one known DDR 1966 Roosevelt Dime. Attached is copy from Variety-Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Crane Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 A new discovery on the way to NGC - 2023 DDR designer initials. There is one other discovery, but this one is more pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 @Denny Crane--Welcome to the NGC chat board. Please start a new topic when you want to discuss a coin different from the one posted by the topic author. Additionally, please post clear, cropped images of each full side of the coin, not just a close-up. Your post doesn't indicate what denomination or type of coin you want to discuss. For the record, although the topic title refers to a 1966 dime, the coin whose images were posted is a 1996-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's finding rare doubled dies in change, let's put it this way: The likelihood of finding those is remote enough that giving up is reasonable. If it's coins as a whole, I'd hold up on that. There is a lot in the coin world that is fun and interesting. It is very diverse. For example, we've got one person here who mainly collects French gold pieces. We have token enthusiasts. Me, I'm an ancients and Islamic world specialist with a broad interest in non-US coinage. The good news is that many very interesting coins are very reasonably priced. Very few are going to show up in your change, but that doesn't mean they will be beyond your means. For example, one can have decent late Roman bronzes for $8-12 in many cases. You'd fall over in shock to find out how cheap German Imperial post-unification stuff can be. And if you want to collect something closer to home like Lincolns, there are only a few issues that are very spendy. Most aren't. Absent several rarities that'll take some money to finish, a nice circulated Linc set is a very worthy and affordable goal to shoot for. Roosevelts are even easier because, while the 1964 and before are silver and will always cost at least the current silver value, few issues are rare and there aren't as many as Lincolns simply because they showed up almost forty years later. There's a lot to discover and look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neophyte Numismatist Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 On 5/13/2024 at 1:20 AM, piggymeu said: dam I give up Don't give up. Just change your approach. Stating with errors and doubled die varieties is a very tough entry point. One, they are hard to find. Two, there is a lot of damage and other striking inconsistencies (MD) that can confuse anyone with an untrained eye. I would start on a series or type set... learn each type/issue. Learn to grade, and how to identify solid strikes. As you get deeper into this, your knowledge can help carry you into these more advanced areas of the hobby. No one is born with this knowledge. It takes time. Like everything else, you will get out what you put in. You got this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is copy from Variety-Vista. First, let’s get straight that despite its title, this thread is about a 1996-D dime and NOT a 1966 dime. First things first.
