Hi lumhechati, Welcome to the forum. I have combined your 2 threads as things really get messed up when someone is trying to answer and doesn't know which thread to use. Only one thread per subject. If you add more photos , do it to the original thread. Thanks.

As mentioned it is "longacre's doubling" on the logo which isn't really die doubling. see below. Also called punch doubling as the logo and date were punched with a gang punch. Die cracks are very common, in fact less often to find a coin with out one. If it was a Doubled die, the bottom of the bust and the end of the ribbons would be doubled ( in other words, the main device). Clashes often cause the change of one die or the other, so they can be on one side or the other. These copper nickle coins were the hardest material used in the mint, so die damage was very often.

I do not see anything that would need the expense of slabbing. Nice coin, but I wouldn't do so.

Jim
