There's a point of confusion going on here...
The mintmark is added after all the other details on the die in a completely different process...true.
But the mintmark and all the other devices are on the die at the time it strikes coins, making any doubling ( Machine Doubling) that occurs during the striking process include the possibility of doubling ANYTHING on the die at that time, which does include the date and the mintmark.
The idea that the mintmark is added after Machine Doubling occurs is wrong.
