Spotted this beauty, couldn't find it on VAM World or PCGS's CoinFacts. Any information about this variety would be much appreciated.
This particular example exhibits significant and dramatic doubling visible across the entire reverse. Most visible is the triple shelf on the N in ONE. Other split devices include the entire legend and the wreath. The thickening of the letters can be viewed with a naked eye.
Obverse has the open nostril, but the obverse die is not a match for 14.5 Open Nostril variety on Coinfacts based on the difference in doubling in the U in PLURIBUS.
Additional specified photos can be provided.
