<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3047288, member: 88829&quot;]What you are seeing there is &quot;VS PF&quot; from the obverse inscription.&nbsp; It&#039;s not that hard to see what happened.&nbsp; After striking the coin correctly it was to be removed.&nbsp; However, it slipped and fell back into the anvil die still face down but rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise and mostly off the range for a strike.&nbsp; The hammer die was brought down on this and caught the small part that was still protruding over the anvil die.&nbsp; The obverse held, as the hammer die slid to the left on the flan in the second strike and smeared its image on the reverse. Chances are pretty good that this wreaked havoc on both dies which would have clashed if another flan was not at least partially in place.&nbsp; Somebody got a good cursing out over this one you can bet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
