nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 7:38 pm Here is another Indian Head cent. This one has all the letters in "ONE CENT" doubled rather heavily. Is this a known variety or just one of those things? Any help will be appreciated, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2604 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 09:53 am This one is not Longacre doubling because I think Longacre doubling was on the early Indian cents only, not the later ones from about 1887-forward. One of the other IHC experts hopefully will chime in, but I suspect this is Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/29/2011 12:10 pm No, it is Longacre doubling. Longacre doubling can be found on Indians, at least on the reverse, until the end of the series. I don't believe you will see any on the obv after the new hub was introduced in 1886. If you look at the T in cent on your coin you can see the doubling on both sides of the upright are clear indication of Longacre doubling. You will also notice that the doubling on the other letters is in various directions, not something you would see with hub doubling or machanical doubling damage. but which is commonly seen with Longacre doubling.
