I really appreciate everyone comments and opinions. It's a shame because this coin is essentially uncirculated. I don't understand why anyone would do this unless they were trying to pass it off as a genuine mint error for a big price which the seller I got it from was not.

I wrote an article in the latest Gobrecht Journal with Dan descibing the same phenomena. I made no conclusions about the causes and received a couple of responses from the seated community. The article described a 2 sided multiple strike. I have several single side imprint coins in my possession right now. These coins (chop marked), we double impressed during a chop strike on an anvil. The coin that I originally wrote about was more vexing. Hope this comment helps. Keoj
