I have seen this fattening font on many coins. I watched some videos about doubling but I'm wanting o here from so people whom will guide me the right way :). I also have a question about the notch near the temple in front of the ear. It looks like a "B" laying down. I have seen this on many different coins from 1 cents to 25 cents. Can anyone help with this mystery mark? Report this Post to the Staff

103070 Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 03/10/2019 11:49 am Thank you very much. That's very interesting about that mark. A coin would have to have hit that hard to do that. Is that happening in the process of printing / stamping? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 03/10/2019 12:01 pm That's known as a "Bag Mark". Usually happens when the coins are transported loose in bags from the Mint. AIso coins are not printed. Currency is printed. Report this Post to the Staff
