My vote is still PMD. I'd like to hear an explanation of how this could be a legit error with that bright new red copper color in the crevice on the reverse. |

Partial brockage (struck through cap), maybe struck more than once, hard to tell without coin in hand.

I agree it looks legit.
@ Pokermandude -The crevice was probably full of dirt and cleaned.

To me it kind of looks like there was a thin cap and a piece split off landed on the next coin and was picked back up by the cap (thus the inner ring overlap) north of where it came from then struck this coin. The obverse lettering is weak where it should be according to the upper rim. Just an opinion Someone will figure it out.  |

Legit. I did not bid on it, because I have a couple already like this. A struck coin, then struck again by a later stage reverse die cap (hence the obverse brockage), 30% off-centre. You see the inner arcuate edge from the cap over the flat edge of the reverse die, the outer arcuate edge is from the outside of the cap, which is cupped around the reverse die. What makes this coin interesting is that is was double struck. Most coins struck by a cap are typically uniface or off-centre, the product of a single strike...
