1864 L (RPD?) Cent

[foxpigsquid]

I think this 1864 L is a RPD (18/18 FS-2304) with Longacre doubling (?) and both obv & rev die clash. Appreciate any confirmation and/or redirection in the assessment.

In my opinion, it looks like a very late die stage, but an RPD.
Good find.
Rick Snow calls it Snow-5.
He gives it 2 of 5 stars for rarity/collectibility.
It says it cross references to CONECA RPD-005.

Obv - all digits repunched north with 18 additionally repunched south.
Stage A: No cracks.

Reverse:
Stage B: Die cracks at K11.
Bulging die at K6.

Stage C: More die cracks at K12.
Cracks from rim, at K5 to rim at K6.

Reverse rotated 5 degrees to left.

nice indian ya got there. L on ribbons in that condition usually get statched up pretty quickly if they aren't severely overpriced and it is an RPD with neat (imo) LDS features.fun to see what happens when they push/reuse dies!

edited to add: and of course, fantastic pics.

Thanks all for the confirmation. The doubling was a new phenomenon (to me) and provided some good education this morning. I'm loving discovering more about the minting process and all the issues that can (and did) arise - something I never really paid attention to before.
