AHORTON57 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Is this is a d over d only or does it have a little bit of doubling? I found this tonight wheat cent searching rolls. In the third picture that is above the nine in 1957 almost look like they try to punch it here first or is it just a damage mark?

Coinbuf Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Well it will be helpful to get some of the terminology correct. The DOD (Department of Defense) is not all that concerned with coins. A D over D mintmark is called an RPM (repunched mint mark) and is represented as D/D or referred to by the RPM # when writing about it. Your coin looks to be a match for RPM-003, however, there are a number of RPM's for this date/mm and a few look very similar. I suggest that you review the RPMs shown on Variety Vista to see if you agree with a match for RPM-003 NGC does attribute several of the 1957-D RPM's if that is a choice you are considering, however I do not think there is tremendous demand for them from collectors. I do not see any true doubling, just some very minor and worthless strike doubling. Your third photo looks to be a small stain of some type.

AHORTON57 Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Thanks sorry I was up late when I first wrote it was asking Double Die Obverse too with the RPM. Yes I'll check it out. Started as a hobby with my son so still have a lot to learn. I usually look on copper coins but thank you for your answer and I'll check it out as well. Have a great day!
