It's a nice weak strike but not rare. It's a nice weak strike but not rare. It was either struck through grease or other dirt build up between the obv. die or a weak strike. In any case a couple of dollars at best - we find them often, not always as nice as this but not uncommon.
I'm not convinced that it's not post-mint damage. I was thinking die-adjustment strike at first, but the reverse would be much weaker. Given the color differential from the obverse to the reverse, I'm thinking it has been monkied with. Oh, Mike...by the way, your most recent post is against forum rules. Do not be surprised if your post, or this whole thread, disappears.
Struck through grease. If someone were to offer you a quarter for it and I were you, I would take it.
