Snooderpuff Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 12:31 pm I noticed this penny looked like the "969" in the date looked a little doubled along with the "ST" in TRUST. The mint mark looks really odd to me, too. Is this doubling or just a form of md. Thanks for your time and any information on this will be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 12:43 pm I agree and think it is Machine Doubling. MD can be shallow and it also can be deep depending upon when the dies moved. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2014 12:47 pm The two marks inside of the mint mark are from a damaged punch. Check other examples from that year you will see varying degrees of these marks until they replaced the punch. http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=eds The listings are from coppercoins and are RPMs, but not because of the damaged punch. This also occurs on all dies that that damaged punch. Look on your date. The flat shelf like look is a partial clue. The rest to me on the date is the reducing of the overall size of the devices. Keep looking. There are out there. The 1968-1972 Cents had lots of Machine Doubling those years. Report this Post to the Staff
