Its an unusual error. Somehow, the coin wasn't struck with the obverse die. Maybe the maleator accidentally smacked it without a die!

Kinda looks like the reverse of a Mercury silver dime that was put on the railroad tracks and squished. LOL! Nice Mojo Stainless.

Hmmm...you may be right..I'll use an MS-68FB one so I can experiment, and I'll let you be the first to know the results.

Hey Anthony, I don't want you to hurt yourself. Why don't you just send it to me and I will experiment for you. I promise that I will send it back afterwards.
