    Hi Everyone, long time lurker here, first time posting. I'm really curious about this coin. It's an 1879 Liberty Seated dime. I've posted two parts of the coin that seem to show that it's double die, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

    Not Doubled dies, not mechanical or machine doubling, that is Longacre doubling.

    I too will go along with that. Would be nice to send to a TPGS for verification though.
    Just edited this since I looked closer and now agree it is for sure Longacre type doubling. Still nice.
