It is extremely shallow when it comes to the IHC series in particular, and is by no means definitive. For instance, our <a href="http://indianvarieties.com/complete-die-variety-listings/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://indianvarieties.com/complete-die-variety-listings/" rel="nofollow">attribution database</a> contains 1149 FEC and IHC varieties. Rick Snow&#039;s attribution guide contains around 1,000 varieties but don&#039;t quote me on his exact number.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, that is very true. I found three new RPDs the week before last, and have posted several new varieties to our website since New Years. The IHC series is ripe for research and discovery. If there is a new overdate out there, it is in this series. This news should be encouraging to collectors who wish to find a new die variety.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, what you are seeing on both your 1875 and 1877 - under the bust and around the letters - are &#039;extra outlines&#039;, also called &#039;Longacre doubling&#039;. It is not strike doubling, also called MD or machine doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a tougher attribution with the extra outlines confusing things. Also, I should mention, you very often see a ridge-line on the rim when the coin has strike doubling or MD. The ridge will be in the same direction and to the same degree as the MD on the devices of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
