    Question about an indian head cent.

    i picked up this 1907 in a bag of silver today. looking at it i noticed that the E in CENT looked odd. it is closed and all the other examples of this year i can find online it is open. the E in ONE is open and there is no damage to the device. is this a normal die variation? does anyone have one handy to check for me?

      Everything that I have near that date shows a more open "E" in ONE and a MORE closed "E" in cent...not all the way closed
      looks on my coins that....the die was polished giving a more open look...cant tell as I only have one example of each year...

          I could be wrong but I thinks it's due to Longacre doubling.
