Peaceman Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 04/29/2011 2:00 pm I found an an interesting MM on this 1978-D. It would seem either MD, repunched or doubled but I can't find anything on coppercoins at all for this year and I still need like a 30K loupe. Best one I have is just 16X. As you can see it's also rotated. Edited by Peaceman 04/29/2011 2:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oldcoach Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 04/29/2011 3:41 pm I see what looks like two different layers there, but don't know what it would be. I would put it in a 2x2 and put a question mark on it and hopefully at some time you will find out what it actually is. Report this Post to the Staff
