[QUOTE="robbudo, post: 1073050, member: 19243"]The doubling you see is Longacre Doubling, which was common for the Indian cents. Many Snow varieties involve repunching of the date, especially in 1864 - but yours is normal. I've seen several bold examples of an improperly mixed alloy on the Indians. I had a 1909-S with an alloy issue (I tried to get it slabbed as an error but not even ANACS would do it). The problem I have with your coin, and I hope others weigh in, is that the area around the profile of the Indian looks shiny. I think I see a little lamination extending from the 4 to the denticles? The reverse looks very nice.[/QUOTE]
