coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 1:55 pm Two things... 1. The doubling is flattened down - looks like the letters are scooted causing the doubled effect. This is a sure sign of Machine Doubling. 2. The date and the mintmark are affected together. Because the date is hubbed into the die (the step that would cause doubled dies) and the mintmark is placed into the die by hand using a punch after the die is finished, there is NO WAY that a doubled die could affect both the date and the mintmark. Exception to this is coins mited after 1989 when the mintmark was included oh the hub as a part of the design that was hubbed into the die. Report this Post to the Staff
