1873 IH Penny Double Die!!!!

[j.d. in missouri]

I thought I posted this here before... but a person from this forum saw it on another one and asked me to post it here... if its a double post I apologize.. if Not I hope you all enjoy it..jd

now I have 2 coin dealers who confirmed my IH penny is a 1873 S2 double die yes!!!!!!!!!!

XF_AU condition even though its green i,b,e,r,t,y doubled take a close look at the "r"

pictur # 2 is an extreme close up and shows marks that you cant see regularly.

if look at the close up pic on the right, you can see a doubling of the I,B, and R in the pic are the easiest to see for some reason collectors go crazy over that there were 2 types of doubling in 1873

Don in SJ explained it this way to me:

Also, there are two varieties of the double die. Snow1 and Snow 2.
Snow 1 variety has more doubling than the Snow 2 and also has doubling at the eye. Snow 2 only has doubling at IBERTY, and not as pronounced. Snow 2 is considered the scarer of the two...
