Bro31 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 03:24 am Is this a double die on the mint mark and date also the nose? If so does it have value? Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 04:52 am Generally speaking, when you see doubling on the date and Mint Mark it is MD. That is because a DDO is created when the die is made mechanically and the repunched mint mark happens when the MM is applied by hand. They happen at different times in the production cycle. MD doesn't really increase the value collectors are willing to pay. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 09:14 am The 'doubling' on this cent looks like DDD to me. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

It's caused by die wear. https://www.error-ref.com/die-deter...on-doubling/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
