NimisAutomatic New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 05/04/2026 4:29 pm Good afternoon CCF! Going through some '64 mint marks and I noticed this one. I was thinking it could be Machine Doubling but I'm not quite sure. (Apologies for the 4th photo, it was hard to catch an angle.) As always, thank you for taking a look!

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10029 Posts	Posted 05/04/2026 7:48 pm Anytime you think you have a doubled die, RPM or OMM, go to varietyvista.com and find an EXACT match. If you do not find an EXACT match (every picture per entry shown must match), then you have a non-collectible form of cdoubling like Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 05/05/2026 11:16 am I am going to dissent on this one. The thickness of the raised inner top strut and the bottom strut is the same. You need MD metal to come from somewhere. I don't see much evidence of DDD. There is a faint interior vertical bar. A lot of the 1960-1964 repunched D mint marks can present like Machine Doubling. I'm not saying that it's definitely an RPM. But I don't think it's instantly cut and dried. I would want to hear someone like Tanner or TB give their opinion. If the feature is indeed cut and dried, I would like to understand why, purely for my own education. If this were my coin, I would definitely set this one aside for further analysis, at a holding cost of five cents. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7504 Posts	Posted 05/05/2026 6:26 pm Doubling is clearly flat and shelf like. MD Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 05/05/2026 6:49 pm I'm with Brand on this one. That looks enough like an RPM that I'd hang onto it for further analysis. As for the advice: Quote: Anytime you think you have a doubled die, RPM or OMM, go to varietyvista.com and find an EXACT match. If you do not find an EXACT match (every picture per entry shown must match), then you have a non-collectible form of doubling like Machine Doubling or Die Deterioration Doubling. If the only Doubled Dies we found were those already on other sites there wouldn't be any new discoveries, would there? Also, that advice excludes circulation wear and die states, both of which can materially alter the appearance of the coin. Look at LMC DDR 1994 FS 801: Quote: http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...4PDDR001.htm Stage A and Stage C present as dramatically different, yet both are from the same (doubled) die.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 05/05/2026 11:40 pm I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to anything in life, much less coin varieties. I have learned the hard way a few times to be careful of the words "never" and "always", they can and will get you in trouble. That being said, I have looked at the OP's coin a few times and then came back and looked at it a few more times in the last couple of day and still come to the same conclusion, I feel it is MD and if I had the coin in hand, seeing everything, would have wrote it off in just a few seconds. Whatever is going on is traveling northwest and feel there are a couple of other areas that support MD moving in the same direction on a less than clear full pic of the reverse, see what you think. I was surprised to not see anything noteworthy on the obverse though.... -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
