Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 07:57 am MD is the case. Note how the so called doubling is shelf like and reduces the size of the devices. Also on the 69's Doubled die you will not see the mintmark doubled because until 1990 the mintmark was hand punched into the die. That's really the dead giveaway. This image from coop should help.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 11:56 am When you see MD on the date and the same direction/same amount on that area, then know it is machine damaged after the strike. Why? The pre 1990 dies were punched with a mint mark punch. The dies were hubbed without the mint mark added. So the changes of both being in the same direction and the same amount will tell us that it is MD. Report this Post to the Staff
