DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/15/2010 08:12 am with Longacre doubling Also, it would be interesting to see the date closer. This might be a variety where the date was repaired due to a broken punch.... Edited by DVCollector 02/15/2010 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 08:43 am see how in this image on the letters it looks like doubling on both sides of the same letter, that is classic for Machine Doubling. A double die would be on one side or another but not both sides of the shafts and curves of the letters Report this Post to the Staff

razorear Pillar of the Community United States 613 Posts	Posted 02/25/2010 09:50 am So thats what this is called. I was reading an Indian cent book that there was doubling on 1864-L thru 1886 t1 cents to make a stronger portrait, but only the stronger dies and stronger strikes is where you could see the doubling. Is this the same thing in the pictures? Report this Post to the Staff
