nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 8:06 pm This one has some kind of doubling / repunching all along the United States of America. I don't think it is Machine Doubling as it is centered on some letters like the T in united. Is this a known variety? Any help would be appreciated... I am just starting to study my set of Indian Head cents. Thanks in Advance. Report this Post to the Staff

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 10:14 am Thanks, I've gotten that response now a couple of times. Forgive a stupid question, but is that just considered normal for this series, not a variety in other words. The reason I ask is that, a number of other Indian cents also have at least some of this effect, not as clear as this one though. The next question is: "is there doubling I should be looking for that is uncommon, or not Longacre doubling?" Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 11:14 am Longacre doubling is quite common and is not a variety. There are some doubled dies in the IHC series but the main types of doubling to look for would be repunched dates(RPDs) or misplaced dates(MPDs). As an example- https://goccf.com/t/82678&SearchTerms=1894 Edited by biokemist6 03/24/2011 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

I still learned something so not a total loss and I still think it looks cool. Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
