Message:: [QUOTE="Get Real, post: 2560849, member: 81585"]This excerpt was taken from Wexler's:"In 1990 and 1991 the Mint began applying the mint mark for circulating coins to the master die.  After 1994 the mint mark was applied directly to the original model for all U.S. coins thus ending the RPM and OMM era."If I am reading that correctly there were still some coins made in 1994 that the MM was still being punched into the working die. I really appreciate your answer but I am not new to this. I did my research before posting on here and I saw that very coin that is referenced in your links and I assure you that mine has no similarities with it. I have seen many plating blisters, both popped and not and this does not have any of the same characteristics. I poked around on the second D and there is no movement, it's SOLID! Under high magnification there are no cracks, folds or waves that would indicate that a bubble has been busted or inverted. When I take pictures of coins I don't not use a flash. My lighting source was from the North which will result in the reflections that you can see in the picture. I was not suggesting that this is a result of Hub Doubling. With a major rotation like in the MM, Hub Doubling would be extremely evident in the entire coin, I would suspect. I don't do Photoshop![/QUOTE]
