<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1072787, member: 11521&quot;]That someone would be wrong. It would be very difficult for the Mint to add a RAISED mintmark to a coin after it has been struck. That would be a monumental (essentially impossible) job to add mintmarks to 258 million cents struck in San Francisco, not to mention the nearly 2.9 billion coins struck in Denver that year. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As coop explained above, the mintmark was added to the obverse Working Die by hand after the die was hubbed. If the die were doubled the doubling on the die would have occurred before the mintmark was added. That means a coin struck with a double<b>D</b> die would typically have doubling everywhere but the mintmark.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You say your coin has doubling everywhere, including the mintmark. The logical explanation is strike doubling (which has been explained numerous times in other threads).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
