PART II. Die Varieties:

Doubled Dies

Class I (Rotated Hub Doubling)

1872 Seated Liberty Dime with 175° clockwise rotation

This 1872 Seated Liberty dime has a dramatic reverse doubled die. The first hubbing was almost completely erased
by the second hubbing, which was rotated 175° (clockwise) relative to the first hubbing. However, traces of the first hubbing are still seen on the reverse.

The image below and to the left shows those parts of the first hubbing that are still visible (white arrows). The image to the right is an overlay showing the positions of the two hubbings.
