Noticed the "UNITED STATES" appears to have been re-entered, the "I" in AMERICA displays similar irregularities. The rest of AMERICA does not. Open to ideas for the cause? I'm no expert in US coinage! Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/30/2020 10:19 pm Here's another really good example of Longacre Doubling on a 1865 III¢ piece. I really like the way it looks on a high grade coin! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
