Double Struck Off Center. The obverse is slightly weaker but the reverse is considerably stronger than the assigned grade. Choice glossy chocolate brown. Virtually flawless, a great half cent. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet, but the piece failed to eject completely from the coining chamber and it was struck a second time 85% off center. The obverse was struck by the die on the second strike while the reverse was pressed into a new blank planchet. The result is a truly spectacular mint error. LDS, Manley state 3.0.
