Date: 1795Glossy chocolate brown and steel. Smooth with minor marks except for a rosette of intentional dents covering the neck--a poor excuse for a counterstamp. The areas not affected by the stamping would grade at least G5. Double struck. The first impression was centered; the second was about 35% off center to K-3 and rotated about 45 degrees clockwise relative to the first strike. The date from the initial strike was obliterated by the second strike, but the 179 from the second is clear (the 9 is partial). A dramatic mint error, just too bad about the crude "counterstamp." Our grade is G5 sharpness net Fair-2. The "2nd Strike Off Center" error is noted on the NGC label.6602097-019
