DaWolfster Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 06/13/2014 1:18 pm Hey All... Came across this 1807 Half Cent that looks like an over strike on the obverse but on the reverse has a recessed obverse in the same spots. Any thoughts? 15 degree die rotation also, a lot going on with this coin, lol... ~ Wolfie Edited by DaWolfster 06/13/2014 1:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 06/13/2014 4:09 pm looks like a pretty wicked flip strike, worthy of a slab! Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 08:52 am I think Philadephian has got it, a brockage that was run through the press a second time rather than waste the planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
DaWolfster Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 06/15/2014 10:49 am Thanks for the input! But what to do? Is it really worthy of a slab? Either way it's a cool coin... This is a first find like this for me, a friend of mine put it aside for me because of the die rotation and of course after putting it under the scope, you see what else... Thanks for your help! ~ Wolfie Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16681 Posts	Posted 06/15/2014 11:48 am I'm also with philadelphian on his assesment. That is a cool coin! It appears to have been cleaned possibly recolored. It would more than likely end up in a details slab. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
