1852 Silver 3 Cent

I asked about the doubling on this coin a few days ago and didn't get an answer on it. I do want to thank you for the siggestions about getting it authenicated threw ANACS. They will indeed authenicate the variety even on cleaned coins at a reasonable price.

Before sending it in thou I still would your opinions on the doubling of this coin. Here are some better pictures of areas that show alot of doubling or shelving. Hope someone can give me some insite.

As you can see the doubling isn't all on one side of the letters. In some cases its on the opposite side of letter beside each other like the M-E in America.

I can also see some of the reverse showing threw to the obverse and vise versa. Probably becuase these coins are so thin. I just haven't been able to get a good picture of this effect yet.
