@rigs, the blurriness of the close-up pics makes it hard to know for sure, but that looks more like a small mark from circulation or perhaps a tiny die chip on the mintmark (not a RPM).

@spence Well it cant be an rpm since its an 05 and the mintmarks were put in the master dies unless of course they used old machines for this mint set, which they have before (1999) to dish out some SBA coins which came out with some beautiful DDO. I dont think its a die chip since it goes around then drips out the middle. It hasnt been circulated thats for sure, thanks though and sorry I cant take better pictures maybe I need an app or something. |

@coop wow very nice I like that, so what about that white image within the mint mark. Thats flat? And there is still another shapelike D coming out the inside, shouldnt Machine Doubling be outlining the letter? And thats a real question I'm not stating that as if I know. Edited by Rigs0880

I think perhaps you are seeing lighting glare with the close-ups you were giving us. I too think what you have is Machine Doubling. You can also see it in the date as well.  ça va bien aller

Would love the chance to go to a local coin meet up so I can tutored on the difference between Machine Doubling and DD. Been a collector for over 40 years but never got into the error side of things until recently. Still trying to find my way. |

Usually (but not always) if there is Machine Doubling in one area, there will be more areas affected, even the opposite side can be affected. Depends on how sloppy the machine was. |
