CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 2:21 pm Another amazing find from the wheat bag! I`m ecstatic to have this one in my collection! The CherryPickers Guide lists 3 doubled eyes, and this is one of the nicer ones IMO. I`m not sure of how rare this one is but the doubling has exceptional eye appeal. Thanks for looking!

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 2:29 pm @John1-Possibly, but the CherryPickers Guide lists it as part of doubling. Still, you could be right. The eye is still nicely doubled though. E&V- thanks! I'm really happy to add this one to my collection. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 03/30/2019 2:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 2:37 pm ~~Looks more like Machine Doubling to me. The channeling trench on the die back then didn't reduce the nose area.~~ Looking further into this it is a DDO-008 Edited by coop 03/30/2019 3:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 2:44 pm Thanks Mr. Coop. Let me see if I can get this straight- the nose is machine doubled and not channeled because the Die didn't reduce the nose area? I thought Machine Doubling would be reduced in size? Sorry if I'm getting this wrong I've never heard of channeling until now. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74733 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 2:46 pm The nose is not from retooling. The nose is actually doubled from the Doubled Die. Look on vareityvista.com. They note it on there. http://www.varietyvista.com/01a%20L...2PDDO008.htm Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 2:50 pm Yes thanks E&V that's what I initially thought, but the responses from Mr. Coop and John1 has me thinking it may not have been. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 3:54 pm I added some information on my other post. I did a little more looking into it and it is a doubled die. It just looks suspicious at first. The location and all. I guess this is the only one I've seen so far that affected that area. (Which is usually always Machine Doubling) We all learn to add new information that we spot that changes our knowledge of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 4:06 pm Nice find. Coop is really good but we all learn. First time I saw that variaty I thought it was MD, just a strong spread Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/30/2019 4:18 pm Thanks Mr. Coop and GC! If the doubling of the eye wasn't there, I would have probably thought the nose was just MD and tossed it back. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
