<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 542440, member: 17256"]Sure, they do turn up. But that link has an repunched mint mark not a double die. MMs are usually punched into the die after the die is hubbed which is why they rarely occur together, and if you look at your MM vs the RPM in the link you will see a big difference. I hope you did find a new variety, but it sure looks like strike doubling to me, there isn't a seperation in the serifs and looks too "ghost like". You can probably find a variety expert to look at it for you at a show. The reason that the center steps are looked at as the standard is because the high point of the obverse is right over the steps making it a low pressure point that makes weak strikes. Typically if you have FS you would have the side steps full as well. Good luck and have fun with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
