belg_jos Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 That mouth and chin looks quite strange. What could have been the cause of this? Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDutchman Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 for some reason unknown to me there seems to be a lot of profile doubling on early american cents and half cents... i am not exactly what causes it... but i have a couple examples only the profile is doubled... and nothing else.... weird little coins..

Hussulo Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nice coin Jos. Like LD said there seems to be a lot of profile doubling especially on the chin and nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I didn't buy it yet, because I thought it was just damage. And if it is profile doubling, but not rare, than I think the price is too high for me ($150) Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 its a decent coin...$150 is too much... but the reverse is crusty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Just my humble opin, at some point in the last 50 years this piece was rather harshly cleaned and retoned. Which is troubling, because without the clean and retone it would be a really nice piece. The portrait is most indicative of an area cleaned and not quite retoned yet.

dustin43160 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 eh i think have a worse one but its not cleaned its a 1880 morgy and it was unc and !!dipped in plastic!!! when plastic was made.. as a paper weight. well the old man tryed to sell it to me in the clear plastic which it looked very very nice!! but i figured it was a fake... well he cut it out and took his kinfe and scratched her all over and put it with a jar of pennies!!! i nearly cryed seeing it last year after 5 years... i bought it for 8 dollors and its in my back pocket as i type.. and its starting to darken around the stars!! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
