19th century machine doubling.

Just received this in the mail today. Loved the look, thought I'd share. Post 'em if you got 'em.

I'm not an expert on these so please be kind when I ask this question. How can you get machine doubling on only the face and not the stars also?

By the way very nice looking coins.

JRocco, nice doubling on that copper. And a die crack to boot. Very nice.

micmt - I am not one to explain machine doubling with any authority. I too am wondering why the doubling does not affect all of the devices. Here is a fairly recent thread that discusses the process and provides some additional outside info. Hope it helps.

I understand some machine doubling....just this one is quite noticeable and don't understand how it could not affect more than just the face of this coin.

JRocco- that 1831 cent is just plain "interesting". Very cool die cracks and doubling of the profile. I like that coin a lot.

Look at the doubleling of the stars and word Liberty.
