A few points sharper but the surfaces are a bit rough, especially the reverse where you can find some shallow reddish scale or verdigris, and there are some relatively deep scratches above the date and in the field before the portrait. The scratches are old and blend into the toning, but they are obvious to the naked eye. Not an especially attractive half cent, but the error is significant. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet but the coin failed to eject completely as a new blank planchet was inserted into the coining chamber. The second strike was 85% off center. The obverse was struck against the new blank planchet at stars 5-7 while the reverse was struck by the reverse die at the opposing place leaving much of TES from STATES over UN in UNITED. An ugly half cent but a wonderful mint error.
