Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 6:44 pm Very nice. Puts my shoddy bent old tihng to shame. Is that a flipover? It looks heavily rotated, but the double strike is from the same sides of the die. Report this Post to the Staff
BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 7:23 pm You may be right, Ben. It was marked and sold as a flipover, but I'm just not sure. Any Commonwealth experts out there? Bill Edited by BillSnyder 01/17/2014 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Badger Mint Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 10:23 am Hmmm, I am seeing evidence of a third strike. In the first picture (wreath side) there are two overlapping shields at approx. 11 O'clock-5 O'clock rotation, and a third at 3-9 rotation. Just above the third shield at 3 o'clock you can see a period and the lower half of the 1 digit, so it is a flip over strike. Nice find Joe Paonessa Report this Post to the Staff
