I found this coin today at my local coin shop's Grab bin. I noticed the face doubling and decided to purchase the coin since I have nothing like it in my collection. I think it is " Strike Doubling". I can see some doubling in some of the letters in Liberty. Any feedback would be appreciated.    |

Yes, this is Strike Doubling or MD ( Machine Doubling). The shelflike area show this as well as the width/size of the profile itself was diminished as the metal was plowed out of the way, byt the loose die, to make the shelf area. Very cool and extreme example! |

A well-known variety but cleaned, unfortunately.

Extreme example, even with the corrosion removal I'd consider it a keeper.

It's in rough shape but still a very cool coin, Jimbo - nice acquisition!

That's a nice MD example on a nearly 200-year-old coin.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Pretty dramatic MD! It's a late die state of Newcomb-2 if you're interested.

I agree it is a dramatic example of Machine Doubling. That is what caught my eye when I saw the coin at the shop. I don't see many coins with this type of error. |

Very dramatic. Excellent pick. Congrats. I'm not familiar with many classic coins but like a nice variety. Quote:

... It's a late die state of Newcomb-2... Thanks guys. Now I have a question because I feel the need for a little clarification. If this is a variety and this doubling is consistent on each coin produced, it wouldn't be MD, would it? (Also, if I remember correctly, this would have been produced by manual production as opposed to steam?) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

It's more about peripheral die cracks and repunched letters on the reverse from what I've gathered.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
