Double Struck over Off Center Reverse Brockage. Sharpness F12 but the field behind the portrait is covered with light scratches and there is a dig on the 4 that makes it look a lot like a "1". A similar dig is located on the second S in STATES, but the effect is less distracting. Glossy olive and dark steel brown. Struck over a reverse brockage that was 50% off center. The incuse brockage undertype shows clearly on the right side of the obverse and the normal "C" from AMERICA of the first strike is visible on the rim over the M in AMERICA of the second impression. In addition, the second strike is off center about 5% to K-10.5. They just never got this one right.
