[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 1977618, member: 1886"]They used punch the mint marks into the working dies by hand. Sometimes the technican would not tap the mint mark punch hard enough and he would try to line up the punch again for a second tap. But usually it might be off just a bit so the mint mark would show doubling or "secondary" image. I think I see doubling at the bottom of the D (or south) on your coin. I don't know what the current resources are. James Wiles and John Wexler have both published RPM references in past. Maybe someone collecting RPMs would know of something on-line.
