Bill, I'm starting to wonder if you don't have maybe a little workshop. The kind that might have presses, lathes, engraving tools, that kind of thing.

I should mention that this mis-struck shilling is in an NGC slab. (Guess I should have scanned the holder too).

How on earth did such a coin ever end up leaving the mint? You would think someone would have spotted it and thrown it away.

Could you post a picture of that from the side? Show the rim and the obverse in one shot if you can please.

MetDet71 - Since the coin is still in its NGC holder, I am unable to show its rim (edge).

Thanks Bill. If that coin is right, would you be looking to sell that on?
If so PM me.

Kind regards,

Kevin

Heh, that's another error on the holder
(to the best of my knowledge, it's spelled Brit-a-i-n, not whatever they said)
