1907 IHC something in denticles?

Dick · Expert Member

Good morning, Kurt! HHow are you today? I finished the IHC roll, and not o single coin was used! I guess I'll have to look for another source. This one has sure gone sour! Maybe I was confused at the number I got from the first roll, ewhen the folder only had what has been IHC's in wheats rolls.

So the word is out, I'm looking for IHC rolls. PM, email, or post the info.

Now for the longacre doubling. It was my impression that it only was used on the reverse, none on the obverse. A similar effect was used many years ago on some wheats, and it was obverse, only. Chuck, if I am in error on this, please let me know. As far as the IHC, I thought it was only on the reverse. I believe it would be very confusing, if it were indeed, having been used on the OBV.
I enjoy a day when I learn something new. It lets me know just how un-informed I really am! I think my next "reference" will be the 1900-1909-S IHC. I'll worry about an earlier one, when I get some holes filled.

I am down to the '14-D to finish a folder, (The '09-S VDB is only a dream).

Dick,
Sorry to hear about the IHCs--was the later group you bought in the 1900-09 range exclusively? A lot of these rolls are, and they often omit anything from 08-09. However, there are quite a few RPDs in this date range, which may have been overlooked. If you find a few, you might be able to resell to a variety collector and come out ahead. Very Happy

Longacre doubling was also common on the obverses prior to 1886, and it's often mistaken (and sold) on eBay as a DDO. Mad

Funny how I didn't notice the post-1886 obverses. It may just be that Barber only reworked the obverse from 1886 onward--I'll have to check.

Kurt, I just checkled the '86 I have, and it is type 2 There is no "L", nor is there any "doublind, fore, or aft. I don't know if it was an issue brfore '86, and I'll check, as well as those post '86.. Some of which do show that anomily, if one can call it uch. I am checking my folder as I comment, so this will cover many hours time, most likely. I do notice on the '87, a bit of doubling on the "R". None of the other letters have any indiications. It migh be listed. The reverse shows no doubling, whatso ever., nor is the "L" present on the obv.
As far as any thing in the denticles, all are too worn to show ant detail.90% of those I have will run G-4, maybe one or two G-8. Then there are a few that are "upsidepdouw". these are to be replaced with some "good' ones, eventually. And now to the 13 rolls of wheats, which I believe will be the last, as well. The three teens resulted in "zilch", and 60% '19, and '`18. 'nuff seen!Have a nice day, my friend! IOt' been my pleasure.

Dick, agree--it's pretty hard to see MPDs in the denticles on avg. circ coins, but there are exceptions, such as the 1870 S-8, which I've spotted in AG. Shocked

Quite a few RPDs will be visible in G-VG grades. Here's a dramatic one, the 1894/1894:

Regarding your 1887, here's the DDO markers to check against the doubling in the R. I've found a couple of these too. Very Happy

Kurt, here are some shots of the coin I mentioned, I would love to be able to provide photos like yours! I didn't notice the "C", before the photography. Can you tell anything?

Thanks,
Dick

Kurt, I love those photos! Yours, obviously!

Dick, you found a nice doubled die! Smile

Notice the R on my pic is the same as yours.
You can also see it on most of the letters in your pic, the M, E, R, C, A and others.

It is the 1887 doubled die obverse
(DDO die-1 Snow-1 Breen 2010)

Like the one I posted, yours has some wear that hides some of the doubling but it's the same doubled die.

(that's a scratch on the coin from the feather to the M)

I agree with eagames and suspected it from your description--unmistakably the Snow-1! Congrats! Very Happy

Dick · Expert Member

Ed, thanks! I turned mine up-side down, and there are more letters showing the doubling! It is my first! It also came from the same seller of the two rolls of IHC I bought recently. I just checked, it was the first '87 I got.
It just got "flipped", and is going in my plastic page holders, along with my '31-S's.
I just might buy another roll of IHC from this guy!. The other one is clear, and will go into folder one, but upside down, because it is cup-shaped.

Kurt, thanks! I was wondering when I saw the "R", and didn't see the "C" untilmI was tking pictures of it, The rest didn't show until I turned it upside down,,like Ed's picture, and the rest came out. Not as nice as his, but I am not going to complain!

Dick, It's your veterans day find!

Notice on the last A in your pic you can see the doubled feet.

You might find some RPDs still hidden in your IHCs Smile

I just noticed the "A". Sure shows how little one sees, until it is piointed out! I will be going back thru the whole batch of IHC's, but with another camers/scope combo. I am not happy with this set-up. I need more magnification, with my eye problem. It might be a good idea to get another camera for macro shots.
