Hello all. I came across this 1850-O Seated Half Dollar that has clear doubling on the face, hand, and flag pole. Are there any known varieties of this? And could machine doubling cause this to occur?

I have researched everywhere I can think of, but have come up with nothing.

Thanks for any input!!

    It appears to be die bounce (machine doubling) to me, based on the images provided.
    I tried to find the online Wiley book of seated half varieties, that I used when I formerly collected seated halves, but could no longer locate it.

    Go to the Liberty Seated Collectors Site.
    Under resources online find the new books by Bill Buggert.
    Have a blast. My 1850-O is not a listed variety. James

I like it and I keep spectacular MD and DDD coins in nice condition because somebody has gotta do it. I also discourage book burnings."

    ...er, what?
