1979 P doubled mintmark

Might be doubled, actually. This Susan B. Anthony Dollar seems to be having a doubled mintmark.

So sorry, I am UNFAMILIAR

Pics attached. Judge it for yourselves. The 1980 P SBA is normal.

 

Mint marks are hard to tell if they are doubled or not because a lot of them get smudged or they are just bold.

If you could provide a very magnified picture of just the mint mark then it would be easier to tell if it is a double die mint mark

 

As Cinderella Man pointed out, there is just no way to tell from that photo.

 

I agree with the others. Since the m/m is so small, you would almost need a microphoto to make any determination.

As a matter of fact, i have looked at the coins from the side and, the suspected SBA has a taller mintmark

 

I took 'em with my scanner.

 

Larger pics. would help. I suspect MD though.

 

The mintmark looks doubled to me

 

Is that doubled as in doubled die or doubled as in machine doubling? Any splits in the serif?

 

Slight split

 

Ok, without a closer shot we can't see it. Thanks

 

agreed. you can't tell if it is unless if you get a closer up shot

 

Jump your scanner DPI up to about 2400/4800 then crop the resulting image around the mintmark.

 

Remember the 1979 SB Anthony had 2 different "S" mintmarks, type I which was the most common and then type II later in the year and then carried to 1981. So comparing the 2 mintmarks on a 1979 and 1980 coins most likely appear different because of design, '79 Type I, '80 type II. Type one was described as bulbous as it was quite filled. The type 2 is generally called "Clear". You can find photos with google.

The problem is, the serif is seperated, and there is a P on top of the P. it is not having an S in any form.

 

Excuse me for not noticing your identification, as when I looked at it, it appeared to me as a "S" mint mark. Mea culpa.

 

Without a better close-up, it's impossible for anyone to give an opinion on it.

Were the MMs added after hubbing this year SBA?

 

Yep.
