Glossy olive and bluish steel. No defects other than a tiny planchet flake near the dentils under star 1, and this mark can help identify the coin. Double struck. The first strike was centered and the second just managed to pinch this planchet at stars 3-5. The obverse part of this tab strike was against the die while the reverse was against a blank planchet. Nearly identical to the preceding lot, except that the second strike caught even less of this coin. And this one is the same die state (M-LDS, Manley 5.0) with the reverse rotated an identical 140 degrees CCW. Makes you think these may have been struck one after the other by someone making the same miscalculation while feeding and ejecting the press.
