1817 Penny Doubling

#1 Unread post by pelefishing »

I have this 1817 Penny and see that it has doubling on the LIBERTY, any feedback on if this makes it slightly more valuable or substantially more valuable? I looked online but couldn't find anything to compare it too. Thanks in advance for any perspectives.

Congrats.
Definitely looks like a true doubled die to me but can't offer any input on this series.

I would need to see this coin firsthand to give a 100% attribution here.
There seems to be quite a bit of surface corrosion that I can see in these images.

:eureka:
My concern here is the continuation of the depression line into the flag of the top of the "E".

Very observant Paul.
Plus it seems to be going in a separate direction than on the R and B

I agree, and there should be something doubled inside the R's opening. I am seeing a lot of corrosion that could cause strike doubling to begin to look like doubling.

It is premature calling this a doubled die. I don't remember any doubled die like this for 1817.
