Was going through some recent purchases and found this "double date" on a 1858 Flying Eagle. Common error?

I dont think thats common. I will check my book when I get home. Someone may have the answer. If not I will post Monday.

It maybe a repunched date.

Is it only the date that is doubled?

Here is the close up of the obverse. I can't get the size smaller on CP even though the pic is only 100 x 1oo on my web site. So....stand back while it loads!! I can see the same doubling in ICA of America and perhaps just a bit in the U in United.

It looks like machinedoubling to me. The birds tail shows clear doubling too, and the rest of the legends too.

Let's wait for some more opinions
