Check out the broken "O" in "VICTORIA". There are also some other letters with missing serifs. There is also a very pronounced ghosting on the reverse.

    Wow.

    VICT( )RIA.

    Looks like a strong die clash to me (?), which wouldn't technically be the same as ghosting.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Nice dieclash on the reverse. The left side you can see the bottom of her chin (inverted).

    Oh,, Did I mention I like the AWESOME color on the reverse!
