Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 2:15 pm The example you posted shows the 'D' west of the primary 'D' whereas your coin shows a reduced 'D' caused by MD. Is the secondary 'D' inside the loop of your 'D'? Edited by rockdude 08/23/2009 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JOE Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 6:31 pm Thanks for the replies! For some reason I've been having a lot of trouble getting a good photo of the mintmark (I've got to get one of those danged microscopes lol >.<), I took another snapshot. Looking at this new photo, I think it is probably Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

A die is like a mold. Every copy it makes is the same. So if you see a photo of a coin with something on it, any other copy made by the same die will be identical to the photo.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2009 6:47 pm John1: I changed the color of the print to white. When you highlight it is turns a different color. The site doesn't offer white, so I chose the tags for a different color and changed the color to white. Makes everyone start to look for more hidden messages. *OH YEAH!* Edited by coop 08/24/2009 6:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
