Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Rather glossy chocolate and dark steel brown. The surfaces are covered with extremely faint roughness but there is no verdigris. The only contact mark is a dull dent at the bottom of the wreath. Double struck. One strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The other is a 75% off center obverse brockage. An arc of dentils from the brockage impression shows at stars 3-7 and the incuse "09" is visible at stars 6 & 7. The only evidence remaining of the normal off center strike is a star near the rim left of the U in UNITED. The circle inside the 0 feature is clear in spite of the low grade.
