<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 5124389, member: 24314&quot;]ANSWER:&nbsp; This is an <span style="color: #b30000">extreme</span> case of ejection doubling.&nbsp; The characteristic is common on 1932-D 25c coins.&nbsp; I first learned of &quot;Ejection Doubling&quot; from Mint technicians when one expert authenticator at the time was gathering up these genuine coins from dealers for the OIN counterfeit collection.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; He thought they were added mintmarks. </p><p>Most examples are not this spread.&nbsp; The action of shifting the metal often leaves a &quot;seam-like&quot; cut at the base of on side of the mintmark that makes it look to be unattached to the coins surface.&nbsp; Thus, it looks to be added and fooled many folks.&nbsp; in the 1970&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
