1902 IHC Mechanical doubling or what. first images

Here's the first images I could take that are close to getting the doubling going on with this coin.

I'll put more up and hopefully get a good description for this IHC.

The description.

Most prominent on the reverse CENT "T" is a prominent step off the right side of the T post. Also noted is the ghost outline around a non prominent right side T top including a deteriorating point. The "E" above the T has some noticable outlining in a few spots and around the right side corners.

This first image does not show the step on the T. I'm going to keep taking images until I get a good one. I'll also take regular obverse and reverse to get opinions of the grade.

Any one have any previous selling prices for these type coins? I did read that in 1902 there is a "Longacre Doubling" effect going on. Any help would be a help.

 

More images here (all the ones I take and do not post here will go here): LINK REMOVED!!!


Right.. I didn't realize that you need to sign in to myspace to see my album. I've taken the link down because of that reason..

 

Sorry about the link. I will work to upload more images today here.. It's not a "PROMINENT" error, so I need to get better images.

 

better image of Reverse 1902 IHC * ERROR? *

Here's a new image. Please reply with input. Thanks

 

1902 Reverse * ERROR? * Help is requested

I was about to put this coin in a set for sale and gave it my usual once over before placing it. Here's what I saw:

Help with grading the coin and any value thoughts are needed.

 

Looks like strike doubling to me. That's pretty common for Indian Cents.

 

could be a recut die if this is the only place that you see a "shadow" on any of the letters

hope that helps

 

I've looked over the rest of the coin and cannot see any other places where this is evident.

 

Yep - machine or strike doubling. Kind of common, but still cool on IHC.

 

I would agree, machine doubling.

I appreciate y'all coming in and leaving your thoughts. I'm going to take images of the whole cent. It's a circulated coin, but I'm giving it an F12 grade. So with this doubling...what's high side and low side of the value.

 

There would be no extra value due to this type of doubling.

Well I'm glad I found it before it went out the door. Thanks for the input...

 

I agree Longacre doubling which surprises me. I thought they had finally gotten way from the Longacre doubling back in the late 1880's.

 

So can we continue to work this coin though? 1902. I also read that the Longacre doubling was corrected 20 plus years earlier. And if that is right, then how did this 1902 have this problem. Also, the Longacre doubling did not posess the straight edge lines of this doubling. From what I've seen of them, they follow their own paths around the sarif.

I could be very wrong, and that's ok. I'm also finding hard to find this type of doubling on other IHC with images posted online. Everyone says that this is common, but I'm having a hard time finding more examples.

The .pdf that I found online states that this is common, but to me, it doesn't seem so common.

 

more images of the whole 1902 IHC with error.

Here's the whole Cent shots...I can do more if anyone wants them..

 

Here's more.. Since I've taken these shots and posted them, I've noticed that the dendrils (?) from 1 o'clock to about 5 o'clock are mashed to a shelf around the bottom edge of the dendrils. You can see the mashing from the reverse whole shot. it could me more in focus and I'm going to try again. Maybe someone could tell me about the mshing of the dendrils also. Is this something from the minting process? There mashed to a flat shelf with a rounded edge from 1 o;clock to 5 o'clock..
