Mint mark doubling... what do you think?

I took some pictures of my Morgan dollars with a digital microscope. My question is, what is your opinion on whether these mint marks are doubled or is it machine doubling?

Thanks for looking and for any advice...

    Thats a 2008-S Kemmedy Half Dollar.

    It's currently at the attributors or at least, on its way. The coin does exhibit Machine Doubling but there are area's in the motto which appear to be DD. I leave it in the hands of the experts.

    Of your coins, only the 1890-S appears to have a doubled mintmark

    From those pictures... and they are not easily evaluated, I would say machine doubling... Lee may be right about one... I cannot tell for sure. Cheers, RickO

    i thought i saw some notching, so in that case, i believe you do indeed have some doubled die issues..image

    Tahoe98: What is meant by "notching?"


    Funny, I just sold the 90-S today. Guess I'll never really know if it is really a doubled MM.

    Thanks for the info so far...
