Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 8:39 pm 11997755, Beware it is possible to have MD on a variety as well. Be it DD (Doubled Die) or a RPM. So I say good eye and question. Circulation (flattening) has taken a toll on this one as well so all I see is the MD in the current pics. Thanks, Doug.

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 10:16 pm When looking at coins you need to take in everything you are seeing. When you see that the doubling on the mint mark is roughly the same as the doubling on the numbers in appearance, and you already know that the doubling you see on the numbers is MD, it would be logical to assume so is the mint mark. You are beginning to understand the difference. I think the best thing you can do is look at a lot of photos of RPMs and doubled dies like you find on Copper Coins. Look at the characteristics, and study them. Once you become more familiar, coins like this will start to be a no brainer. There is A LOT to learn. It will not happen over night. Try not to rush yourself. Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2254 Posts	Posted 01/02/2016 4:57 pm Thank You Seal006 for the mentoring. I found a few more RPM's last night (they were obvious ones). It took me a long time to even think about searching for RPM's. What's nice about them. There neighbors with the BIE's. Thanks again to all for the responses and understanding of a beginners questions. Report this Post to the Staff
