Kenyoncole New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 09:59 am And would this be considered doubleing?Also are closed 9's common Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 10:05 am The closed 9 is common. That is Longacre Doubling. Extremely common, and not a doubled die. to the CCF! Edited by SilverDollar2017 09/19/2018 10:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21603 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 11:47 am The missing "S" looks like it was caused by a Grease Filled Die. Report this Post to the Staff
Kenyoncole New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 5:12 pm Would it add to the value?would it be worth getting slabed? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 10:19 pm Yes, that is a Grease Filled Die. Coin is not worth slabbing. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 09/25/2018 3:54 pm JimmyD is right on! Grease Filled Die, happens when machine grease gets into the recesses of a die, causing the metal not to flow correctly when struck, possible collectible value to someone that collects via die varieties, but the premium would be very slight, most dealers and collectors call this distracting and don't want them in collections. I collect them in the 2 cent series, and have a bunch missing various letters or design features, the more valuable ones involve missing digits in the date.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 1:51 pm The longacre doubling on the 1895 is interesting. I was under the impression Longacre doubling ended on the obv of the Indian head in 1886 with the introduction of the new obv hub. Report this Post to the Staff
