coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 7:54 pm Does anyone have a possible rough estimate of how many Longacre double die pennies there may possibly be out there? I have one Indian sent that looks to be DD such as this but also another Indian that looks to be a standard DD, I will post pics soon. In my research on the web, I have found a few resources stating that the longacre dd is common and doesn't demand a premium. Why hasn't this type of double die been declared a variety? Personally, I think this is a very neat looking type of double die and can't understand why this has not been declared a variety type. I appreciate your expertise an opinion.

albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 08/02/2013 10:00 pm Many of my Indian pennies have it. It's just called Longacre doubling. Different process than hub doubling that produces double dies. Report this Post to the Staff

coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 1:26 pm Thanks Coop! So is it technically a double die? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/03/2013 2:59 pm It is considered as master die doubling. Very common and not just on Indian Head cents. The design must have needed altering and they altered the devices making them deeper. (IMOHO) No premium for these. People get suckered into buy them thinking they are doubled dies.
