whatsthedillio Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 11/07/2016 12:44 am I have a 1972 S Kennedy with what looks like tripling. I'm having trouble matching it to the three that I looked up. Seems like SDO-001, DDO-001, DDO-002 are the choices? Report this Post to the Staff

The date also show MD on it. The die is created during one process. The mint mark is a separate process (pre 1990 coin) So when it shows the same direction on the devices and the mint mark, it is machine damaged after the strike. Not hub doubling. Not a doubled die. sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

Another thing I'm wondering about is whether MD always smooshes towards the rim or not? Report this Post to the Staff
