1968 D Double Die???

Found this penny in a roll and it appears that the D mint mark is double??

Can't tell from those pictures.

 

Agreed, pictures aren't close/detailed enough.

Also, from my experience, when you are seeing "doubling" on just the mint mark it is most likely either 1) damage, 2) MD, 3) an RPM - which is not actually doubling.

Might I suggest that you bookmark this website: http://coppercoins.com/advsearch.php

I use it every time I see something through my loupe that looks interesting.

 

Also, if anything it would be an RPM (repunched Mintmark) not a doubleD die

 

Maybe http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1968&die_id=1968d1mm001&die_state=mds

But your's looks more like the "D" took a hit.

 

So it appears to be a very well struck RPM?

 

I'm leaning more towards it taking a hit on the mint mark and not being a RPM.
