Sharpness F15 where the devices were properly struck up but the planchet is covered with fine to moderate granularity on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. There are a couple specks of verdigris on the obverse but you have to look hard to find them. The only marks are a couple thin planchet fissures above the first 7 in the date and another larger one on the outstretched arm of Britannia. Double struck. The first strike was centered on the planchet and a second strike at least 50% off center to K-4.5 left a partial but clear impression of the obverse die on the obverse but the opposing part of the reverse was struck against a new blank planchet (thereby creating an off-center reverse brockage impression on that second planchet). A neat mint error. Weight 131.4 grains.

Acquired 3/1999 from an unrecorded source
