I don't know if it was on 3 cent pieces, but it looks like longacre doubling to me.

 

What is Longacre doubling?

 

Hobo got it awhile back. I don't really understand it enough to answer for myself lol.

 

Well, I have a CherryPickers guide, and it has examples like my coin in it. I was just wondering if mine fell in that catergory.

 

Looks like die deterioration to me but I know nothing about errors.

 

Looks more like MD to me more of a shelf like in apearance.

it doesn't appear to be true doubling.

 

It is Longacre doubling, and there is also traces of die clashing above the date and from the bust to the last A in America.

 

agreed, agreed & AGREED.

 

I found that Cherry Picker coin about three years ago

I found that Cherry Picker coin about three years ago and the doublED die obverse has "America" doubled all around conterclockwise very directional.
You coin does not.

 

Thank you guys:hammer:

 

Do a search of CT for "Longacre doubling" and you will find my post. I'm sure there are other posts and threads that describe Longacre doubling as well or better than mine.

 

thanks

 

Longacre doubling with a die clash. Pretty common for 3c nickels.
