    Description

    Semi-glossy steely chocolate brown. The center of the obverse is covered with tiny pits and the surfaces are slightly uneven. The date is very faint, nearly gone, but most of the legends are readable. The neat part of this piece is a fine arc from an incomplete planchet cutter impression located a millimeter or two inside the right edge on both sides. The mint worker started to cut the planchet, then repositioned the cutting tool and finished the job, thus creating this extremely rare type of early mint error for us to enjoy today. Weight 74.3 grains.
