CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 08/23/2022 4:14 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 08/23/2022 5:55 pm 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.
