Is this a Double Die? More Pics.

Postby amalekidad » Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:28 am

Howdy RealCent members,
I finally bought myself a new camera for taking pictures of coins (Celestron). I’ve been taking a good look at a bunch of coins and I came across this 1960-D large date. What do y’all think?

Great camera work.

I would say that it is a doubled die. Is there any other aspect of the coin which is doubled, or just the mint mark?

Isn't this what they call a RPM (re-punched mint mark)?? I've seen a fair share of those from that era..

The coin is equally as impressive as the camera shots :geek: Thank you for sharing.

I think those above hit the nail on the head!!
