It is an 1852 Large Cent. The doubling that I see is not visible except under a microscope. Thank you for your help

Looks more like Machine Doubling.
FYI- The correct term is Doubled Die

there are no double dies in the large cent series. the hub -> die making process was different and did not produce that type of error. any doubling on large cents is either recutting/tooling of the die or a double strike. I dont see the doubling you are asking about so I cant be more specific.

upon closer examination I think you have the N-17 die variety. the line in the interior of the lower half of the e in cent is my pickup point. that would be a tool mark from some sort of die adjustment/polishing. I'm not 100% on that attribution. I would need better pictures to confirm.

there arent really any rare varieties of 1852. the N-23 commands a 2-3X premium. there is the N-24, but thats a proof with 3 copies known and this coin is not that variety.
