Error
Description
A doubled die obverse is visible on this 1868 Indian Head cent. A doubled die occurs when a working die receives a second, misaligned impression from the hub during the die-making process, creating doubled design elements on all coins struck from that die. In this case, doubling is visible on the date, lettering, and feathers. This variety is cataloged as FS-102 and Snow-4. The 1868 Indian Head cent had a mintage of approximately 10.3 million pieces, continuing the lower-mintage trend of the late 1860s.
