Is this date an overdate, die doubled or machine/ejection doubling? The first picture didn't turn out too well, but the second one without the flash is zoomed in on the date.   Edited by drdave

That's no Machine Doubling, that's a die variety of some kind. Massive clashing going on too. Awesome. |

That is not a dime, it is a nickel 3 cent piece with a repunched date(RPD).

With a better picture of the date and the reverse, it should be possible to definitively attribute it. Based on the extreme doubling of all four digits, it resembles FS-3N-1865-304 found in the Cherrypicker's Guide.

Nice...that's an RPD with a very strong separation!  The obverse shows a strong clash too. Edited by DVCollector

Is that Longacre doubling by the last A in America?

I'm looking in my Cherrypicker's Guide and it is a dead ringer for the repunched date variety "FF: RPD-003". The prices in the guide for this one are roughly double that of a normal 1865. Good find!
