Lyle Kruse Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 9:42 pm I was wondering if this was machine doubled or something else Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 10:27 pm Ah, my favorite topic: Longacre doubling. This is common for the 3cn, especially in the early years. This thread has a discussion on it https://goccf.com/t/143514 and if you search longacre doubling on the forum you will find many more threads. I think it was Condor who pointed out an easy way to identify Longacre Doubling was the fact that the doubling often occurs around all side of the letters. Edit: Commented on the photos in the grading section. Edited by CoinsKelly 11/21/2013 10:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
