Hello Everyone! Here is a coin I had to buy, in a PCGS MS62BN holder. The date area was a mess, and the date needed investigation. I thought it may be a KF-3, but the date position is wrong. Starting with that, there is doubling of the ball, as well as a line above the WE part of the ribbon. The repunched 1 has a different base than its underdigit; the 8 has "horns". The reverse is also cracked, not known for the KF-3. I sent the pics to someone familiar with 2C pieces, and he wondered if it all was due to Machine Doubling, as there were other, minor doublings in the shield, leaves, etc. .



Then I found this:


NGC MS64RB CAC, and in a later die state than mine. It shows the device doubling and double-digiting of the date, but it's worn. The diebreak on the reverse is also in a later state (plus it's a rotated strike). So, the doubling on mine can't be due to MD and it can't be a KF-3: the placement of the ball over the date only occurs as such on a few of the 1867 obverse dies, and one of them is not KF-3.
What do you think? We know of at least one 1867 obverse die that was rehubbed after an initial use; the famous Double Die
