I don't see how this could be a vice job. Seems legit to me, but seems cool enough that having Mike Diamond weigh makes sense.

All of the action on the reverse and just "LIBERTY" on the front? I would have thought may be just little more action on the front. Still enjoying the pics. The Error-Variety Ready Reference http://www.error-ref.com/ |

Congrats GC.
Excellent example and very nice find. You nailed the error also from what I see.
I believe the stronger impression was applied last. I think the obvesrse looks impressive because the pressure and wide fields on the obverse hammer die obliterated most of the first strike?
The second LIBERTY shows up well because the bust is the deeper part of the design. Seems like there was less pressure here on the second strike to eliminate LIBERTY.

The angles don't add up. Liberty should be straight in, or I think you would see some form of rim damage. Also the front to back comparison angles don't match up.
