coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 12:40 pm No. It is a damaged coin. A double die that year would show on the devices, not the mint mark. In 1990, they started putting the mint mark as part of the design. So after 1990, a doubled mint mark would be a doubled die. But up till 1989 a mint mark that would show doubling on it would be a RPM. (Re-Punched-Mint mark) But on your coin it is just damage on the mint mark. Not a variety. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/23/2017 6:33 pm RPMs are from adding the mint marks to the dies with a punch, that was done by hand. The locations on the mint marks vary until 1990 when the mint marks are part of the design. They are in different directions/locations and have different terms for them: Some years have hundreds of different ones, others have just a few. They take a while to get familiar with. I call them die varieties, as they are on the dies all the dies life. The other varieties I enjoy are doubled dies. They are doubled on the die, not doubled by the strike. (But sometimes Machine Doubling affects affect doubled dies as well) I have so much more information that them, that this space would be clogged with information. So I'll take it easy on them for you for a while. Edited by coop 11/23/2017 6:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
