    Picked this up this past weekend. I thought it was cool and wanted to share! There was an planchet sitting on the obverse when it was struck the second time but the reverse was fully double struck.

    Another amazing coin, Dutch. You don't, or at least I don't, see many major errors on the earlier coins. I wonder what a person of the time might have thought of it...? Maybe this was spent as 2c instead of one?

    Hey Matt, these coins you show, are these for your personal collection or do you resale them at your store? Just some amazing coins that I can imagine it would be hard to part with.

    I wish I could keep all of these neat coins I see but sadly most of them find new homes.... eventually.
