There were fewer than 4,000,000 1871's minted, so even in G-4 condition the coin is worth $60 or so. Prices increase tenfold or more as you reach uncirculated grades. It would take a special collector to pay a big premium for the doubling you describe...but, hey, sometimes you get lucky. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/06/2008 3:58 pm I'm looking through Rick Snow's attribution guide for 1871 and I don't see a DDO. I might suspect it's Machine Doubling, but before I rush to conclusions, could you post a closeup pic of the most dramatic doubling on the coin? Seeing how 1871 is a rather scarce date, it would take a major variety to bump the value of an already pricey coin (the shallow N variety is ~ $250 in G-4).
