Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 11:11 am Very nice. It is a full obverse not reverse brockage S-128 (die state VI) that was put back into the press and struck normally. I think the detail is a little better than F-15, but it shows some corrosion problems and possibly some cleaning. The corrosion is a worse problem than the cleaning. I would net grade it as a 6. S-128 is an R-3 coin so there is no variety premium. Report this Post to the Staff
0076 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/11/2009 3:27 pm What do you think about the head stamped on the back? How many times would it have to be pressed to get 2 heads on the front and a head on the back? Thanks all for the comments! Report this Post to the Staff

How many times would it have to be pressed to get 2 heads on the front and a head on the back? Thanks all for the comments! Twice. The first strike had the planchet between the obverse die and a previously struck cent. This created a normal obverse and an incuse obverse. The coin was then fed back into the press with the normal obverse facing the reverse die and the incuse obverse facing the obverse die and it was struck a second time. This results in a normal reverse struck over a normal obverse, and a normal obverse struck over a left facing incuse obverse. That is exactly what your coin shows.
