Possible dime double-die?

Hey guys,

I sometimes come across dimes that look like this and I'm wondering if there is maybe something to this. It's hard to tell, but it looks like it was stamped twice, as the inner-rim part also has a sort of outer-ridge-ness to it. Anyone else come across these? I know it doesn't look like a typical double-die, and although it's probably nothing, I think its work asking. What do you guys think?

I don't know, I see alot of these CRH, I usually pass them off as off center strikes but not enough to be worth anything. I might be wrong because I don't know that much about errors yet.

It is not a doubled die. A doubled die coin is not struck twice, the die itself is impressed with the doubled image. I think that may be just the separation between the die and collar when the coin was struck.

That is what is known as a misaligned die. Very common, no premium.

Hah! Oh well, it was worth asking! Thank you guys for your help with this, even though it turned out to be nothing, I sure appreciate it. Maybe some other people will read this and not have to ask, heh. Thanks!
