1909 Indian Head Cent, L Is For Longacre

Hi,
I'm looking in my attribution guide for 1909, and judging by your detail pic, this could be the Snow-1 (Master die doubling), which was seen on many obverses.

Here is a 1909 IHC I currently have labeled FS011.9, but think is a SNOW-2, due to the comments in CPG that the SNOW 2 has also doubling on the base of the 1. I also have doubling on the left side of the 9 loop also.

Cernan, do you see any doubling of the letters or numerals?
Kurt, do you have any info on Snow 2?

And Kurt, this 1909 does have doubling that doesn't have the regular shelf appearance of machine.

Thanks both of you.

I guess I will have to wait until the new CPG comes out. I know I should also shell out for the
attribution guides. I think they are $90 for looseleaf, and that is inexpensive for the type
of information. I found this 1909 in my general IHC group from years ago. I bought for the condition,
not variety. Sometimes one has good luck!

By the way, Cearnan, good eye! very few would have noticed. I have 1909
IH Cents on my pick list for the next show I go to in Dec.

It does appear to be the same. Any doubling on the letters? "United" seems to be well doubled
on mine. You might check when you can. But still not sure if it a SNOW-2, but I will consider it so until I
find something else :)
