OK. Thank you for noticing that. I was wondering if the off center strike occurred first. Interesting point, if the planchet was improperly struck before correct 1807 strike, then I would agree with F12, but would still like to have a notation on the slab.

The fact that the on-center strike "overwrote" details on the off-center one makes me think it was the second strike. I'd expect the off-center head to obliterate Half Cent if it were the second. |

good point. I was wondering why " Half Cent" was so clear... |

I think you'll have to ask (and pay extra) for ANACS to add whatever attribution(s) are appropriate.
But whatever, that's one heck of a coin.

It's going back to ANACS within a day or two. Once I hear back from them I'll update the thread. Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who posted, this really is a very cools coin....

Could it be a flipover? Appears LIBERTY or remnants of it, are struck on the reverse.
Fascinating coin!

I see what Vermont is seeing. Check out Liberty's nose where the fraction is, forehead right under AMERICA, the hair ribbon under Half Cent, and the date right under UNITED is near the rim. Goodness what a fascinating discovery piece! |

Great piece, and looks like a flip over double strike.
Nice!

Heck, I never even considered mentioning that, since it was so obviously a flipover.  |
