pman860507 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 1:45 pm It's alright if this is not one found 3 varieties this week so its to to bad. with still 1000's of coins to go though. I'm not saying you're wrong. Just need to learn. I though on Machine Doubling it was layered Main D would be where it needs to be and the other D would be closer to the surface. Bag mark you saying that another coin or something hit the D and made the mark and moved the D. Correct? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 2:05 pm Your third line keeps giving me a head ache when I read it. LOL Note the shape of the mint mark on your coin? Here are a couple of die varieties in an image: The mint mark is normal in shape on your coin. But note how the OM shapes on the image provided show that the doubling is outside of the normal mint mark. Not on top of the mint mark. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm011m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...1D1MM008.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm012m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm013l.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm014m.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...d1mm016l.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1MM_006.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...013_East.jpg Bag marks can happen in the mint bags/bins/circulation. The term designates contact with another coin after striking. The mention of Machine Doubling was because the shape of the area in question seems to be uniform with the mint mark punching. But with way it in not a RPM. Report this Post to the Staff
pman860507 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 2:13 pm Sorry about my 3rd line =) I did think it was weird if it was a RPM that only that corner showed up. Thanks for all the info. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/01/2011 2:32 pm Even if it were a D/D that would be a repunched mintmark which is a die variety - not an error. Your coin has a blunt hit on the mintmark giving you the illusion of two mintmark punches. Report this Post to the Staff
