Really neat, slightly off center with a plain edge (normally reeded).
Doesn't look like much in the PCGS holder, so sending it to NGC so one may see the plain edge. This the only significant error I have ever seen of any Philly Mint Cuba silver pesos, and I sorted >10 thousand of them that MTB got directly from the bank of Cuba in 1995. The "ABC" pesos were withdrawn from circulation and melted to make the 1953 Marti pesos. I'm guessing considerably fewer than 50,000 exist for all dates. So, IMO, this error type should be rarer than the already rare broadstruck non-1921 Peace dollars (1921 is the only date that turns up regularly with this error),
Does anyone here remember seeing anything similar of either this type or even of an earlier Star peso?
