    << <i>I wish you showed the whole coin, but is that a base of a "1" coming out of the neck or is it just a worn necklace? >>

    Does not look like the usual 'recut' letters, since the underlying date appears to be slanted. Is that a slanted '1' showing on the right side of the 1 in the date? Or is it damage, like a gash, etc.

    Also looks like there may be a trace of the lower loop of an '8' in the first 8 in the date

    The first one is a RPD. The second one is a MPD.

    Shelf doubling???? Maybe?

    I just realized the 2 pics are the same coin and is both a RPD and MPD. Neat coin.

    Definitely doubling and not strike or shelf doubling.

    Those are all pictures of the same coin. The coin has a repunched date, most likely Snow-4 (listed as "88/88 east"). Any doubling you see on the letters is "Longacre" doubling, a result of die fatigue common on Indian cents.

    Sean - it is also a MPD with 1 in neck.

    Definitely looks like a RPD to me. I can't comment on whether it's also a MPD since I don't know this series.

    Looks like it to me.Look at the bottom of the second 1 in date..Split serif

    A doubled die occurs when the die receives an addition impression from the hub
    that does not align with the first impression, hence a doubled die.
    A RPD occurs when the number punch is re-punched over an initial impression of
    the same date punch, but misaligned between punching.

    2 completely different scenarios.
    This a a re-punched date not a doubled die.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
