indianabyron

Anybody know if one exhists.. Well looking through my cents I bought with the 50$ gift card I got. Maybe im crazy but it looks DD to me. Its on the obv the shift is rotated toward the northeast it shows up on the date as well as the mint mark and also I think the hair show some. Coppercoins you have any idea about this. Ive tried to get the pictures but my stupid camera dosent take that fine of pictures. Also I so far I think ive found a nice 1969s omm. Shifted slightly towards the east anybody know about this one?? Let me know Thanks in advance.

Dead giveaway that it's machine doubling. True hub doubling would not affect the hand punched mintmark that would be applied after the die was finished.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH so thats what machine doubling would look like. Ok so now i understand the machine doubling as far as cents go.

But on to the other question. on your site it say towards the n,s,e,w What do you mean by that as far as OOM's mean (over mint mark) When looking at it do you mean the what would look to be the bottom mint mark or the furthers on the top one. This confuses me south east weast north or some vvaraton of that. are you looking for what looks like the first punch or that last punch??

The direction of spread for RPMs and OMMs is described as the direction you would travel FROM the heavy, primary mintmark TO the lighter or secondary mintmark.

A Denver minted coin with an extra tail think sticking out of the top of the "normal" mintmark would be a North RPM...because you have to travel north to get from the normal mintmark to the anomaly.

D/D west...because you travel west from the primary (heavier) mintmark to get to the anomalous (odd) mintmark.
