<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1301963, member: 15199"]Havieman, you have a Machine doublling ( MD). It is noticed by the flattened doubled area. The reason posters are mentioning the "s" mint mark, is that at that time, the mint added the mark to the working die with a punch and a couple of blows. If the workman was "off", the doubled effect was called a repunched mint mark, but it wasn't from a doubling on the working die production. So these are 2 rare unusual events and for both to occur on the same occasion ( a true doubled die that was repunched) would be almost never and if it had happened, it would be a documented event. The only time I know it has happened is the 1960 D/D small date/large date DDO with RPM 100. Note the repunched ( way off) mint mark at the green arrows. Date shows the Doubled die ( DDO).</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/60-ddo-date-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
