    I have been Photographing my collection so I can keep the coins at the bank and still have access to them (sort of) at home. I came across this today and saw much on the photo that I had missed. I've counted at least 6 strikes with denticles showing and a C in the center where the ONE is usually positioned. O appears low and leaning sharply to the right AND doubled. I can't match up this OF with any known varieties, but the doubling and multi strikes could be throwing me off.

    Here it is if you wish to work at such a worn example. You'll need a good large monitor even at full size to see anything:

    Obverse

    I believe the obverse is also showing multiple strikes, though I can't count as many.

    The more I look at this, the more interesting it becomes. It appears to have been flipped with the obverse and reverse multiple strikes occurring on both sides of the coin. A triple leaf on the shoulder of the dominant Liberty. At least 4 strikes of the date show to the left through the right in rotation besides the jumps to 10%, 35 and 90% off center strikes. LIB all over the place. I think the bust from the obverse is underneath the OF on the reverse. It's worth the effort if you like this sort of thing.

    OK! I'm bumping this just to try to get a response from the eagle eye crowd I expect of Error Collectors.

    I looked hard, and I can tell it's an old large cent, but not much else. I suppose it's one that has to be seen in hand.

    It has some strange characteristics but nothing that can be confirmed from the images. I agree with Captainkirk:)

    Thanks,
