jw2008gcc New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 12:12 pm I got this penny from change the other day. Is this a double mint mark or a die fill? It looks like a small D over a larger D. Thanks for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 1:39 pm Die crack on the 19. Machine Doubling on 8 and mint mark. Way to tell? The flat shelf like damage from die movement. A dead give away? The date and mint mark show the same direction of Machine Doubling damage. Sorry. Keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff

jw2008gcc New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 04/04/2011 6:40 pm I was looking at the picture and penny again. I retook a picture of the penny again and apparently there isn't no die crack as mentioned above by two different members, apparently the "die crack" was nothing but a piece of fuzz or some forgien object. So I am guessing I have nothing more then a MD penny. Edited by jw2008gcc 04/04/2011 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/04/2011 7:13 pm It's Machine Doubling. Machine Doubling on a mintmark will 'take-up' some of the nomral shape and size of the mintmark as is the case with this coin. A true repunched mintmark will have one completely normal mintmark with 'extra' around it. Report this Post to the Staff
