<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2708028, member: 36230&quot;]Asking &quot;are you sure&quot; isn&#039;t some unforgivable offense, Tammy, even if some act as if it was. It&#039;s not like you&#039;ve argued for 20-30 pages that you&#039;re right and everyone else, including independent evidence, is wrong (believe it or not, this does happen). Stick around for a while and you may be surprised at how many here just love to dish, but can&#039;t handle it when the favor is returned. Your best bet would be to simply ignore the nonsense; if you&#039;re genuinely serious about learning, and are willing to do your own homework/legwork, it&#039;ll show and most here will be happy to help.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few things.... if the mintmark indeed showed proper &quot;doubling&quot;, it wouldn&#039;t mean the coin a doubled die. At that time, and through 1989 (for cents), mintmarks were punched into dies by hand, and because of this they&#039;re a separate issue altogether. This isn&#039;t to say strike doubling cannot impact mintmarks (it can), and if you see a coin from this era with &quot;doubling&quot; on, say, the lettering/date and mintmark, it&#039;s a good indication you&#039;re looking at strike doubling. Moving on, your coin may (MAY) have some potential as an RPM, but I cannot see it well enough to say for certain. Its a long shot, but if you&#039;d like, feel free to post other photos of the mintmark. Either way, here&#039;s a good link that will better explain and show what I&#039;m talking about....</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.doubleddie.com/58243.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doubleddie.com/58243.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.doubleddie.com/58243.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Be sure to spend some quality time on this site well beyond the one linked page. It&#039;s an excellent site that can teach you a great deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the question asked, I have to agree with the others; it&#039;s not what you were hoping for, unfortunately. That said, we&#039;ve another young lady member who was in your shoes not too long ago, yet stuck with it and has had great success as well as a number of fantastic finds. Perhaps she&#039;ll stop in to share some advice and/or her experiences with you. [USER=76273]@Sheila Ruley[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
