  • The doubling on the 1893 Morgan is those letters and one star. the other 2 or 1882 o's I can't get any closer of a pic than this.

    Since you have the coins in hand, it will be much easier for you to go to: vamworld.com

    The two 1882-O's are O/S, that should narrow it down for you pretty quickly. The 1893 appears to be machine doubling.

    Ok. I'm wondering. If it's machine doubling, why don't the leaves right below the letters show any doubling?

    Actually, the leaves below the letters DO appear to show some machine doubling....Cheers, RickO

    Yup. I can see it on the leaf below the I and the leaf and berry below the E. Machine doubling doesn't always show on the entire coin. Sometimes just a small region shows it. It's purely dependent on the nature of the extracurricular contact between the coin and die.
