Description
Glossy chocolate brown with frosty light golden brown and tan in protected areas.These is a horizontal scuff in the field off the chin and neck and a collection of thin nicks under AME.
An interesting Mint Error, as described in Davy "This piece was struck three times. One strike was a brockage impression about 65% off center leaving an arc of dentils on Ms Liberty's shoulder. There is a tiny depression on the reverse rim over NI in UNITED and another over the A in STATES. These depressions correspond to where the edge of another planchet directly opposing the arc of dentils on the obverse would contact the rim, but there is no trace of undertype on that side. The other two strikes were centered on the planchet and are separated by a tiny offset, about half the width of a dentil. This doubling is sharp and clear, however, and shows over both sides."
The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW on this example (this variety is known for numerous reverse rotations suggesting at least one of the dies was not properly secured in the press). Large 6 with stems.
