Is this doubling? 1824 Capped-Bust Half

Check out the left side of the shield.

No. That is the way they are. Doubling usually would be most noticable on the obverse when you can see the outline of Ms Liberty twice. Or yu would see 2 eagle outlines on the reverse.

Actually, here is some doubling:

Miss Liberty is clearly doubled.

Nice informative post and link-MBA101!! It appears to me that the Eagle is doubled on the reverse as well-note the lower beak and neck-on the link not the sample. This truly shows how a doubling would appear. Thanks.

Still a nice coin Zach.

I just dug my collection out of my safe and a few, but not all, of mine appear to have this. I think it may be more an engraving issue than a strike issue but I’ve not read that anywhere. I’m purely guessing. Here is my 1824 that does have some doubling on the obverse:

Cool coin, Winston! My 1824 should look familiar...

[WinstonWare]

Yes of course it does. It was clearly purchased by someone with fantastic taste for original CBHs . My 1824 came from TomB. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

Nice photo JRocco, what camera are you using and what settings to get that clear closeup?

Hi Jim,

Thanks. This was taken with a Nikon CoolPix 4200 in macro mode. To be honest, when the coin is this well struck it is almost hard to take a bad pic of it.
