<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8262535, member: 106826&quot;]The 1968 S is MD - you can spot MD right away in that it affects the date AND the mintmark.&nbsp; If this had be a doubled die, the mintmark would not show doubling unless it was an RPM...which it is not in this case.&nbsp; When the date and the MM display the same effect, you can be pretty sure that it&#039;s a case of worthless doubling (i.e., not doubling at all).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the nickel, it looks like a case of die deterioration.&nbsp; A couple points: when you are posting something for members to look at, my advice is to post one clear Obverse and Reverse picture.&nbsp; This will give us the date/mm, etc. as well as give us a full picture of what die stage the subject coin is.&nbsp; If you have loosely associated an attribution to it, then state that and probably post that in the title for your thread.&nbsp; Additionally, post similar photos that appear at the various attribution sites of features, devices, and markers.&nbsp; We can help confirm what you have in shorter order, that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice closeups by the way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
