    Picked this up yesterday.
    What do you think?
    Obverse to follow.

    I thought that it may be a reverse brockage, but my mistake, there isn't any incused lettering.
    However, it was probably struck over a blank that entered the die during the second strike.

    Obverse of the coin.

    This is my first picture posting, and it only took a couple of hours yesterday to reduce the picture. I had to get a new program to reduce the picture.

    I didn't cherrypick this one, I got it from a dealer yesterday.
    I only wish that it had been cherried.

    obviously it doesn't get into a roll, these are found by people tat get the bags of loose coins. It gets past the mints "quality control" and never sees the rolling machine.

    it probably was picked out of a mint bag at one time and never made to the rolling machines.

    Coin was struck off-center and not properly ejected from the press. Then it was struck a second time with part of the coin between the obv die and a planchet that was in the coining chamber.
