It was smashed together with another coin, the reverse rim has been flattened and incuse details are present(transferred from the other coin involved in the smash job).

The obverse has been doubled struck. It appears to me the reverse side has been doubled struck though a capped die.
The coin rotated slightly between strikes causing the doubling that can be seen on both sides.
I would say very nice find!

If a coin were to get stuck on the anvil die (Reverse Side) and another coin minted on top on that, double struck, and rotated, I think this would be the result.
I've seen some pretty crazy pile ups come out of the mint, I guess almost anything is possible.

So that's 2 for PSD....1 for mint error...and 2 maybe mint error...I understand the reverse characteristics with incluse design appearing like a "smashed coin"...but again how would you explain the doubling on the obverse..how would a smashed coin cause that? |

I am by no means an expert but I am going with mint error. I would go with PSD but the obverse looks like an error, but can't figure out why the "Y" looks shifted and not rotated. Maybe PSD on the reverse and an error on the obverse. (That answer has me covered--I agree with everyone  Edited by 11997755

I agree cwb...the reverse screams PSD...it's the obverse that shows a different story |
