yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 6:10 pm I purchased this coin online. a nice coin, but I think it is mislabeled.It reads "Doublestruck, 2nd strike off center, uniface, at 1:00." I think the coin is off center, double struck, with 2nd strike brockage, as there are letters struck on what first appears as an indent. The letters are silvery white, as the strike was from a coin in the way of the 2nd strike, and the color is caused by the stretching of the copper skin over the underlying zinc. Please check it out and see if you agree. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 01/11/2022 08:45 am The lack of a rim impression along the internal margin of the partial brockage indicates that the brockage-maker was a minor broadstrike. Nothing particularly rare about that. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 1:25 pm Thanks, everybody. Well it looks like I was right about the mislabeling, but have to agree with Mike, broadstrike with partial brockage. Report this Post to the Staff
