@PetesPockets it's only an assumtion. There may have been a clash that rotated the die, or it may have been rotated to begin with.
@Rookie, persistance is key with quantity comes quality.
@Rabbithole I saw the obverse first and was confused. I almost threw it back for a sec because I thought there was no way it was authentic. But as you said, after a closer look I couldn't believe it myself!

GrapeCollects, USPS can be a nightmare to deal with sometimes. I hope to god they didn't lose or misplace your package!

hmmm when the post office takes extra days to deliver something, it is a bad omen.
EDIT: I have had my fair share and then some with bad omens.

Well the rotation of the die probably happened during a previous die clash. It probably didn't happen during the double strike, because it was the coin that rotated. Missing word was die. |

Congrats Grape
What if it was stamped and fell on the floor and was swept up with other blanks and stamped again by a different press.
