Description
Slightly glossy dark chocolate brown and olive patina with uniform moderate granularity. No verdigris, and the only marks are a couple small nicks on the reverse, one at the U in UNITED and another at the first S in STATES. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The struck half cent failed to eject completely and was struck a second time 90% off center leaving "LIB" clearly visible behind the portrait. The reverse was struck against a new blank planchet rather than the reverse die during this second strike leaving a depressed arc at the opposing area at TED-S. A neat error in spite of the relatively low grade.Ex; Abe Kosoff B&M 11/85:4151 - Davy Collection
