<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2474260, member: 66&quot;]Doubled die coins are varieties.&nbsp; The die is in error, but the coins struck from it are a variety.&nbsp; And yes the us mint has produced doubled die variety coins with doubled mottos, and dates.&nbsp; Typlcally doubled mintmarks are NOT the result of a doubled die, but of a repunched mintmark.&nbsp; (After 1990 when all the mintmarks were included in the master hub, and before 1997 when they went to single squeeze hubbing it would be possible to have a doubled mintmark created by a doubled die.&nbsp; I am not aware of any, but that doesn&#039;t mean they don&#039;t exist.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A doubled die can ONLY occur during the hubbing process in the creation of the die.&nbsp; In CAN&quot;T happen during the minting process.&nbsp; You can get doubling on a coin during the minting process, but from die deterioration, machine doubling, or double striking.&nbsp; You will never create a doubled die during minting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As to the OP, the mintmark on that coin is normal for that year.&nbsp; If you are comparing it to more recent coins you need to know that starting in I believe 1998 they started using a much larger D mintmark on the cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
