This one sells in about 30 minutes, currently a bit over $100. Looks bad to me as the coin was supposed to be well off center double struck but remains perfectly round and the rotation of the second strike doesn't match front to back. Among other things.

This is an odd one - one strike (the primary one) looks normal - no rotation obverse to reverse, but the second 'strike' does have a rotation obverse to reverse.
The devices are not reversed to indicate a vise job..
Some exposed zinc at the edge of the second 'strike'
Not seeing any damage to the rim where they intersect at K12
The date of the second 'strike is on top of Lincoln - but the "GOD WE" of the first is on top of the second...
Strange..
