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


I'm a little confused again Coop. (A word got left out between "the probably".)
Where am I missing a clash? I don't see one.

It's an authentic in-collar double strike with rotation of the coin between strikes.

Just confirming that I'm understanding correctly and your opinion is different than Mikes?

@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.

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.
