Now that is a wild looking error, what is that blob above the E in states. It doesn't look like a die chip in the photo?

Can't say I've ever seen that - let us know what the final verdict is.

That's the strangest doubling I've ever seen - please keep us posted!

I think the die is rusting there. As it rusts and spalls it creates the doubled images since the spalling tends to be somewhat parallel to the design images.

That's a wild FE Pushkin. In the new images you posted it looks like the O is widely double struck -- or is that just an illusion from the lighting? There are a lot of strike doubled 1857s and that would account for the two F's that aren't rotated. Maybe the other "F"s are really just die damage as Conder said, a very late die state. Is that a crack running through the denticles?

OK
