This looks like a RPD to me on the 90. Is this a documented variety? Another general question. I notice a few coins with the very smooth field as...
Check out this link. I believe this would support it being a die double, not a strike double. http://indianvarieties.com/product/1875-rpd-002/ It...
I noticed the 5 as well. What do you think about the 1899? This is a highly magnified view of the 5 [ATTACH]
Here are a couple of other areas on the coin. I tried a picture of the whole coin, but you can't see enough detail. I need a better camera for...
What I found odd is that the doubling below the bust is also on at least two other coins I have without date doubling. All other doubling looks...
Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your help with this and the background information. I find this series of coins very interesting considering all the variety...
Here is the full coin. There is a flaw on her neck unfortunately. You can see the die lines on there parts of the obverse. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is a magnified view of the area around Liberty's ear. Notice the lines do not go through the ear, so I think they were there when it was...
I see, so this coin was struck when the die was almost new to have this degree of doubling. Good article, thanks!
I read that many of these were struck with the same force as the CN variety. Does that explain the artifacts around the four? I've included a few...
Thanks everyone for your input. I am going over my entire collection and I have a lot of questions. Hopefully, I won't wear out my welcome!
I was thrilled when I magnified it since I paid around $15 for it. Looks like a Snow-1 from the Cherry Pickers Guide. [ATTACH]
This is an 1873 IHC. The top of the D in United is broken. Is this a known error? [ATTACH]
Thanks for your help!
