And the reverse of the coin? Plus, you should remove the coin from the flip before taking pictures.

Thanks! Much better......except for the coin that is! 😫 The doubling on the profile looks like machine doubling to me. The coin is/was severally cleaning/damaged. The green on the rev is verdigris. You might try acetone but nothing will help this coin, sorry. "Maybe" 20 buck.

In general, any doubling on old coins (~1840 and earlier) is a common occurance. In case of really old ones it can actually decrease value! Just to drive the point home, consider how many overdates there were on US coinage before 1840 vs since then ;)

Please take notice that the "Doubling" is not continuous across the entire center device, and only appears on the profile of the upper face

What I'm saying is that errors like this, doubled dies, double strikes and so on are common on coins of this age. Whether this one is rare or not is an other thing.
