So having the date and the design doubled, in the same way, would indicate that it is not a die variety. I believe the proper term for this doubling is Longacre doubling, correct me if I'm wrong.

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 03/13/2019 5:23 pm First off, there most definitely was Machine Doubling in the mid 1800. Secondly, I read a thread on CT which seems to suggest that this type of doubling is like Longacre doubling which appears on the Indian Head cent. So I would say that your coin is not machine doubled, but not a true doubled die. Technically it would be an RPD if it were. Report this Post to the Staff
