    Thanks everyone for taking the time to look at the coin and providing comments. The verdict is pretty definitive! Sandon, thanks for the link. I especially liked the example of the coin with a doubled die AND machine doubling in the date. It clearly shows the difference of the two types of doublings on a single specimen, eliminating any ambiguity. Thanks again everyone.

    Hello all, Thank you in advance for any advice on the subject coin. Is this a 1965-P Washington Quarter FS101 DDO? I see doubling in the left side of Washington’s face, the date and in “WE TRUST”. I don’t really see doubling in “LIBERTY”. If yes, would it be worth it to submit the coin for official grading? Thank you Jim

    That is great advice; exactly what I needed to know. I’m starting from an odd place. My brother-in-law passed away leaving me his coin collection containing coins such as 1878 Morgan silver dollars, mercury dimes, WWII era cents, etc. He didn’t label any of them as to why he saved them! I’ve been wading through about a hundred coin so far, and being so new at it, I have millions of questions. Your advice was sorely needed.

    I’ve got a lot to learn. Funny, when I saw it and thought it was novel, I have to admit that my heart skipped a beat. Maybe it will be the next coin. Or the one after that. Or the one after that.

    Thanks for the rapid response. Your explanation makes sense (and explains why a google search wouldn’t have helped me). I thought the vertical line was out of alignment. I was hoping for an over mint mark but that sounds impossible the way they are currently made. Lesson learned. Thanks again for your response.

    Hello All, Jim the Newbie here. Thanks to the moderators and commenters on this site. I have a 2005-D penny with an odd mint mark. I haven’t been able to identify this type of mint mark through Google so I need help. Is the mint mark an error? Thank you.
