I cant imagine there being two of the same dies used?

A cool $20k...

Oooohh,

Quote:
"Among the rarest of all errors are two-headed and two-tailed mules (mules are coins struck by mismatched dies)

Only one double-obverse ("two-headed") mule is known among U.S. coins — a 1859 Indian cent. Only three known double reverse ("two-tailed") mules are known — two copper-nickel clad quarter dollars and one copper-nickel clad dime." - Mike Diamond Coin World 04/16/11

Note :

According to Mr. Diamond, this coin also could be a pseudo mule



HUH? a thoroughly "Assisted Mint error" by a bit of mischief in a machine shop...

The price is just a little optimistic, lots of cool things were created by the RCM during this time period

Looks like a early state counter-brockage strike on a cap...

Yes, truly struck with two reverse dies and a little assistance from a mint employee.
