Sharper but dark and lightly corroded. No verdigris and the only notable marks are some old scratches hidden in the patina under the globe on the reverse. Slightly glossy very dark olive brown and steel, nearly black. Double struck over a NOVA CONSTELLATIO copper. The offset between the strikes is significant with one impression about 40% off center and the other centered on the planchet. Bold evidence of the two strikes is visible on both sides. Late die state with a bold die crack at the back of the head. The 178 is clear but the second 8 is faint at best. Most of the legends are clear on the centered strike. Comes with a nice provenance. Weight 103.4 grains.
