In some views, it looks like part of the "2" is missing, and in other views, it looks like the "2" has some extra material. One view even appears to show a possible doubled-die condition (or Mechanical Doubling?) The MM also appears to be Repunched. What is the consensus from the experts? Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 2:26 pm The 2 looks like it was hit by another coin, it is just damage. Cuds are only on the rim. The 2 also has MD not a doubled die. RPMs stopped occurring in 1990 as that is when they stopped adding the mintmark by hand. Report this Post to the Staff

However, I thought Cuds could be anywhere on a coin - simply an extra layer of material left behind or squeezed up over the edge of a device during the strike. I'm still learning! I was pretty sure the doubling was MD, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks for setting me straight on all accounts. Report this Post to the Staff

What you're describing is a struck through. Always happy to help! Edited by Tanman2001 05/20/2018 3:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
