Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 01/26/2011 10:26 pm I found this penny today in a box of Canadian pennies. I would call this Machine Doubling, but still learning, what does a pro think. There is also slight shelving on "GOD" and "WE". Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 01/26/2011 10:51 pm Not a pro, but definitely Machine Doubling. The '69-S seems to run rampant with MD. It almost seems harder to find one without it! Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 10:59 am Print this out and paste it on your wall... On ANY cent minted before 1990 - if the mintmark AND date are affected similarly, it is ALWAYS Machine Doubling. These two features are placed into the die separately during the die making process, so there's NO way a doubled die could affect the mintmark, and there's NO way a repunched mintmark could cause a doubled die. As of 1990 the mintmark was included as a part of the design on the master, so there is no such thing any more as repunched mintmarks. ANY doubling on the date would automatically affect the mintmark, so a doubled die that affects the date will also appear to be a repunched mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
