WOW, I have one of those. It came from Walmart just 1 dollar. Who wants it for only 150,000. Quite a steel?

I've never heard of an error like this, that was real any way. Can someone explain how the error occurs in the minting process or point me to a page that does?
Rest in Peace

I'm sure it's worth quite a bit of change, but I don't think $225,000...

one coin gets stuck to the die on which it was struck, and it act as a die itself. only the first few strikes make a mirror image this clear, though.
