Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 10:05 pm It is called "Isolated Machine Doubling" Quote: Definition: Isolated Machine Doubling affects only a small portion of an area without affecting the surrounding features. This affect is most often encountered on the mintmark, since the mintmark is often fractionally higher than surrounding features and thus more vulnerable to impact the retreating die. http://www.error-ref.com/part-vi-striking-errors/ As seen here the mintmark was punched in more (deeper) than the details of the coin on the die. Nice example here, no MD seen on date could very well be fooled by this, please don't try to sell on ebay as a new variety!...Karma will get you OR, I will have to tell my Foo Bird Joke!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74770 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 10:11 pm I already knew that they were hand-punched until 89. It's clearly MD. It's not a RPM by any chance. Take a look at this pictured below. This is MD do to that shelf like doubling. It can happen on any year Lincoln Cent. It can show on the date, mintmark, and liberty and motto. Errers and Varietys.
