honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 4:14 pm What is this? It looks kind of like a secondary D, tilted with a good imagination. Would it be related to a repunched mintmark? Image: Repunch86.jpg 46.44 KB Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 7:15 pm There too many bumps like orange rind that makes it appear as an extra D. Also wearing die will a seeming doubled mark that is from die fatigue. Not read die doubling but machine doubling/die wear/poor rinsing orange rind, helps to confuse this coin to look like a doubled die, but it not. Report this Post to the Staff
honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 7:19 pm I was thinking it was mechanical. It did not look smooth. It almost looks like a worm dug it. Report this Post to the Staff
ziggy9 Valued Member United States 499 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 10:47 pm If you look at the date it has the same effect to a lesser degree. I believe that it is caused by the copper plating shifting during striking. in worse cases the plating splits and the coin will start to rot around these areas. Richard Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 12:57 pm Because recent coins, especially the one cent and 5 cent Jedfferson which now contains less pure metals, deteriorate so quickly and easily, does anyone think that they will soon be making them with different metals so these coins will age better? It just seems like we're losing a lot of money using the current metals. Report this Post to the Staff
