Class 3 - Design Hub Doubling

Class 3 (design hub doubling). This die was hubbed from two different design hubs. CopperCoins lists it under the design variety shown above — the design variety named first when collectors describe the coin (for example, “small over large” → Small Date). See the nine classes article for how Class 3 differs from a normal doubled die.

Die Notes

This proof reverse die shows signs of the later 1909 reverse hubbed over the earlier 1909 reverse. Especially visible in UNITED STATES. It is known to be the result of doubling on a master die, but turns out to be among the earliest examples known, showing the finest markers available. Very rare, with fewer than 200 examples estimated to have been minted.
