Glossy steel brown blending to olive brown and chocolate in protected areas with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. The surfaces are smooth and the only defect is a small area of very fine carbon at the bottom of the F in OF. The obverse was struck three times, all with different rotations. One of the strikes (probably the first) was centered on the planchet, another was about 25% off center toward K-7, and the third (not necessarily in that order) was slightly off center. The lips and nose of the 25% off center strike show on Ms Liberty's neck, and the E from LIBERTY is visible in her hair above the ribbon knot and the Y is just left of the bottom of her eye. Evidence of the other off center strike shows on her neck. The reverse has no doubling and was struck only once by the reverse die. The additional impression(s) on this side were struck against a blank planchet positioned about 30% off center creating an off center reverse brockage on that planchet. The reverse displays some of the usual swelling that occurs when it creates a brockage on a new planchet. This piece is plated on page 481 in Breen's half cent encyclopedia illustrating what he terms "First two impressions variously off center and rotated." Our grade is EF40. A great multiple error, and it comes with a nice provenance. E35176.55/30451244 Ex Ronald J. Guth 11/26/1977-R.
