I am wondering if anyone can shed light on this variety/possible error? It is not listed in CherryPickers Guide (at least not mine), but I have a coin with definite doubling on the observe.

Unfortunately I cannot post a pic of the doubling as I don't have the capability to get a magnified pic.

The doubling is pretty clear on UNITED STATES & AMERICA & the bonnet and faint on OF.

Also some doubling on the reverse (wreath & III).

Is this possibly something Cherrypickers has missed or just so common it is not worth mentioning, or something else?

What you're probably seeing is Longacre Doubling and it's on all 3CN due to being on the master die hub. You'll see that type of doubling to various degrees on different coins.
