<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1753982, member: 30970&quot;]An RPM, by definition, is a repunched mintmark. That means that there is 1 normal-sized mintmark, and remnants of a 2nd. Therefore, if you took away the remnants, you are still left with 1 normal-sized mintmark. </p><p>On your coin, if you took away the doubled area of the mintmark, from what I can see, the result would be a mintmark that has an incorrect shape and would be smaller than normal. That is why I say your coin has MD.</p><p>Mechanical doubling is eye-catching and can make an MM appear bigger (after all, it does flatten out part of the design). But the fact remains that with a coin with mechanical doubling, if you take away the doubled area, the design will appear smaller than normal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
