Error
Description
A doubled die obverse is visible on this 1868 Indian Head cent, combined with a repunched date and misplaced date. A doubled die occurs when a working die receives a second, misaligned impression from the hub, creating doubled design elements. In this case, doubling is visible on the lettering and feathers, and the coin also exhibits a repunched date and misplaced date. This variety is cataloged as FS-103 and Snow-5. The 1868 Indian Head cent had a mintage of approximately 10.3 million pieces, continuing the lower-mintage trend of the late 1860s.
