<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2293359, member: 66"]Most if not all of the 1834 varieties can be found with doubled profiles of various strengths except for N-7. The doubled profiles were caused by strike doubling and at times it could be severe. At the time they in the process of moving into the new Philadelphia mint and they were still using the old severely worn screw presses that had been in use since the 1790's. Trying to keep them "tight" so the die cups did't shake was a difficult feat. (It isn't seen on the N-7 because that was a proof only issue, and there are only 8 of them.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
