Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2531 Posts	Posted 09/14/2026 5:55 pm Looks like it may be O-116: http://maibockaddict.com/1834-o-116...-half-dollar Have a search through the Heritage Auctions archives for that year and variety. They usually have good images to compare. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 105974 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:50 pm very nice coin. But an in-focus closeup image of the area under the nose would be great to see. Collecting since 1972.

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 269 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:55 pm I have seen this before in large cents produced in the 1830's. I have an 1833 large cent that looks similar. I believe the CC said it was Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
