    It kind of looks like machine doubling. The coin is pretty beat up so it's hard to tell, sorry.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "Unclassified" but it looks like die deterioration to me.

    chris to me unclassified means that this coin does not have a classification yet.

    Technically, it does have a classification. There are business strikes and proof strikes.

    Sir it could be the 45.591.499 strike for all we know, all we can say is this coin has seen a lot of history.

    Sir. I must have missed something, the two coins that you are showing indicate that this grading service, this was the first coin , with this error submitted to them for grading. Thus their stamp of first reported. What does? your response have to do with an old Indian head pinning.?
    sir do not be sorry I am fully aware of the value of the coin. But to me the coin is priceless, when I give the coin to a young kid and tell them the coin is there's. the look on that child's face is priceless to me.

    I don't know maybe it's me when I bought this role of Indian head's and opened it up two coins stood out, and of course these are the first two coins to be examined, I was definitely a newbie somewhat I am surprised that the coin po po didn't pick up on either these coins and it is quite evident these coins have been cleaned.

    The pictures aren't the best and the coin does appear to be beat up but I think you may be looking at Longacre doubling which is quite common on Indian head cents.

    OT: Longacre Doubling?

    Im not sure if it can only pertain to ONE CENT or not.

    Longacre doubling is when the base of the letter on the punch make contact with the die. Very common on IHC and gets its name from the coin's designer.
