Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/26/2016 9:12 pm I picked up this 1858 SL Flying Eagle that has some minor doubling on the ribbon on the reverse. Is this just some "Longacre Doubling" or a known variety? Thanks for any help. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 11:26 am Thanks, Conder 101. I thought it was Longacre Doubling but don't have a good resource for Flying Eagle varieties. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 4:41 pm Agree Longacre ("shelf") doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2016 11:54 am I've always thought that it looked like he made a hub design that appeared as too weak. Then enhanced it to make the design to stand out more. Thus the halo around the devices: This was probably because of the multi-hubbing of the creation on the die. Central devices added then others added later like the date. (single or gang later) But it seemed to be a theme not on just cents, but on other designs of coins he created.
