Is this possibly one of a kind, or is there a source for an attribution? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1834-Corone...p=true&rt=nc Edited by edweather 08/25/2015 01:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

Must have been a bad week at the mint, because there are a lot of double profile 1834 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

The double profile is caused by the fact that these were struck on the old screw presses in the old mint and they were wearing out. This resulted in looseness in some of the parts of the press. These could be tightened but would eventually loosen again. On today's coins it would be called Machine Doubling damage. Edited by Conder101 08/25/2015 12:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
