It just looks like a normally circulated cent to me.
Seriously? Photos??
But think about the glory of having that coin permanently associated with your name on a website! :D Plus, submitting it to an attributor would...
Some people buy nice replicas as placeholders in their collection before they purchase the coin, as it may be an expensive piece or a key date....
I would value a problem-free 1834 bust dime in low to mid AU at $350-450.
Not seeing a doubled die.
Sorry, with no notching and a flat appearance, I wouldn't call this one a doubled die.
Don't get my wrong...I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I was just making you aware of the correct terminology so you don't misuse "ddi", as...
Looks like die chips in the date. Nothing to worry about.
Just to get the terminology correct, the term is DDO/DDR for doubled die obverse/reverse. Your coin shows mechanical doubling.
Thanks for the link. Do you have any input on the doubling that can be seen on the coin?
Just because I'm lazy, could you link another example that has that kind of issue? Thanks. :D

The thing that gets me the most is the left rim. It looks as though it may have been struck off-center, but it just looks so odd...anyone else...
Mechanical doubling is due to the dies being loose when they strike the coin, meaning they also occur in a much different way than a doubled die....
Is the other side of the coin offset as well? If it is, it is an off-center strike. If not, it is a misaligned die error. Unfortunately, I don't...
If you take a closer look, there also appears to be some form of doubling on both the obverse and reverse...
Excellent find! :)
Me neither...I'm seeing a normal coin.
