Haven't dealt with these before so figured I'd ask. Anything special here? Reverse is slightly rotated, which I understand is common. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

In general a doubled die before 1836 is not really possible as all the devices and lettering was hand punched into the dies. Repunching and recutting is possible but hot a doubled die. There are a few cases where the mint did experiment with completely hubbing dies but as far as I know there are no known doubled dies from these experiments. Report this Post to the Staff

To delve deeper into this series you will need to get away from error attribution guides/websites and look into series specific literature/websites. Most "errors" are known as "varieties". WARNING: This road can lead to an unhealthy obsession. Report this Post to the Staff
