1909 Indian head proof? What is with the "E"?

Folks, please let me know what you think of this 1909 Indian Head

Also please look at a close up of the E on ONE on the back...there is a lot of extra metal inside the E.

Any thoughts?

or thats a CC (cool coin)

 

Thanks - any guess on 1) is it proof 2) whats the grade and 3) what is with the extra metal?

Thanks a ton I am still new at this...

Have a great night!

 

extra metal: very coman. grade: most likely AU 66 or somthing close. is it a proof?: most likely not.

 

Nice high AU coin , not a proof . Looks to be a small die crack above the right wreath on the reverse . Extra metal probably MD , but I'm no expert on doubling .

 

Could be Longacre doubling. And I agree with rzage - it is not a Proof.

 

Nicely struck, but not a proof strike. AU-58

 

Thanks everyone!

that cool to know on the E...it looks like a lot of extra metal...have a great night everyone!

 

It's not a proof, but it's still a nice coin.

 

I agree with Hobo it looks like Longacre doubling.

 

I agree with Dutchman agreeing with Hobo.

Here is my example of the Longacre doubling on a 1903.

 

Here's a good link for Longacre doubling .
