Warriorz510 Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 10:50 am Sorry for the lack of detail. I was referring to the MM and the bulging of the '9' and '0' Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 12:10 pm The lines on the mint mark that area lower is from a damaged mint mark punch. The punching of the die was onto a hardened steel die. The punch was also hardened. But hitting the two together eventually ruins the weaker one. The punch. Causing it to roll or form a bur on it. Thus the lines on the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 2:18 pm The 9 and 0 look more like MD or an over polishing issue. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 08/05/2018 3:54 pm As the 9 and 0 appear to be more shelf-like, I'm with @john1 on these two numbers demonstrating Machine Doubling. In the end, though, the distinction between damage and MD is academic, because this cent is only worth face value.
