Sharpness VF25 where properly struck but dark and moderately rough. No verdigris or contact marks, but not especially attractive. MDS. However, this piece was dramatically double struck. The first strike was 20% off center to K-1 against the obverse die and a blank planchet. The partially struck planchet was then turned over, rotated, and struck a second time against both dies with the dies properly centered on the planchet. The off center obverse of the first strike is clearly visible on the right side of the reverse where it is rotated 90 degrees. Even the 1817 date is readable. There is no undertype from the first strike on the obverse since that side was struck against a blank planchet. A dramatic mint error in spite of the unattractive surfaces.
