3,5,7,8 are doubled dies, the rest are mechanical. 8 is a little tricky, apropos for Halloween.

Coins 3, 7 and 8 are the only true doubled dies.

Edited to add- I have no idea what number five is supposed to be.

Ok, I was trying to interpret it as a "7" though for some reason with a highly rotated image. Knowing what it is now, it's definately a DDR.

Cam40

3 and 8 are dd

Cam40

the others look like die errosion doubling

Cam40

That doesn't look like any mintmark to me.

What coin series had a mintmark that looked like that?

messydesk

3, 5, 7, 8 are doubled dies, the rest are mechanical doubling.
