    IMG_20210116_212120.jpg I saw where a 1964 D nickel with a repunched mint mark is worth more than a nickel. Is it true and does this mint mark quality

    Do you see how the D is chopped off on the upper-right? That's due to the strike. It's actually pretty much thinned-out all around, and that's again from the strike. That's one way you tell.

    I'm not sure of the terminology you're using. What is the difference in strike that makes its worth or worthlessness

    Okay I'll go study up on it and come back with a better worded question but I believe you're saying yes it is a repunched mint mark I can also post the front and back of the coin for your viewing pleasure ☺️☺️

    Good question. A repunched mark is imparted from the die, itself. The mark was repunched on the die. Strike doubling, which is what you have, is just by virtue of the striking of the planchet into the coin. These strikes are very violent, and rapid. The coins get loose in the collar securing them for the impact from the dies. The strikes don't impress crisply for it. The planchet moves, and there's a smear. Or it hops, and something's chopped off. That's how strike doubling happens. We look for repunched marks and doubled dies because they're from the dies, themselves. It means they repeat on every coin struck from those dies. And that's it, in a nut.

    I don’t see how it would hurt. Make sure you scrub behind his ears.

    It's not an RPM. No need to sell it at the "market".
