Caddis Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 9:24 pm Terrible photos. Seems the harder I try to get a clear pic the worse it gets. Here is a closeup of the lower wreath (L) With what looks like doubling. The one cent is also doubled. I think it's all MD. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/06/2022 02:03 am According to the prevailing theories, Longacre doubling is not a form of Machine Doubling, since it occurs on the dies, not during coin production. I can't tell what the OP is seeing from the images provided. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 12/06/2022 11:57 am I thought Longacre doubling occurred as a result of re-cutting the dies usually around the lettering. Am I wrong about that? Report this Post to the Staff
