Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 05/14/2024 09:27 am That double profile is a form of Mechanical Doubling, fairly common in large cents in the mid-1830's. Yours has a particularly large spread. I hope that cleaned appearance is just from the lighting and photography. to CCF! Edited by Zurie 05/14/2024 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 8:17 pm Matron head large cents and bust halves minted before 1836 often had a doubled profile like this, due to shifting of a loose die in the manual screw coin press. When the mint switched to a steam-powered press in 1836, that largely eliminated the problem. The doubling is not found on the die itself, which is the hallmark of a doubled die.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 5:40 pm Same gig with bust halves. Classically called a double profile but technically named machine or Strike Doubling. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955 Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.
