A double profile does not constitute a separate variety or even a different die state. (Wright, John, The Cent Book 1816-1839, Litho Technical Services, 1992) Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 10:23 am I've seen others like that. The mint was just moving into the new mint building and was in the process of getting the new steam presses. The old screw presses were worn out and it was difficult to keep everything tightened up. The resultant lossness in the moving parts lead to these chatter strikes ( Machine Doubling). Once they switched over to the new presses the chatter strikes stopped. (Or at least became much less frequent) Report this Post to the Staff
