    I think you're asking if it's a repunched mintmark (RPM), a D/D.

    An over mintmark (OMM) would be (in this case) a D/S.

    I believe it is an RPM.

    coppercoins, thanks for the correction...........repunched.

    I have been collecting for years, but this is no way a specialty...i will try to get better pics. My 30X scope shows it real nice

    It looks like a very close D/D..... unless you are refering to what looks like the top part of an S that is very wide to the right, nearly directly below the ES of STATES? (or are those part of the coin's toning, that the photo makes look like partial mintmarks....)

    The toning is showing a lot of things in that pic. It looks like a decent D/D RPM , but I think I see where you may be seeing a complete S, completely separated from the D to the N/E. A better pic would be great.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
