Can anyone tell me how many times one mint mark has been stamped in a coin..I believe this nickel has the mint mark stamped 5 times
Yes it does look like 5 stamps but it couldn't have been a complete up and down motion of the minting press for all 5 stamps b/c the whole reverse of that nickel would show evidence somewhere and it doesn't.
I cannot visualize mechanical doubling for so many evenly spaced MM's. Espoecially since the coin was only struck once. I could visualize 2 perhaps, but not 5. It wouls be nice to see close up of the rest of the coin.
