I was outbid... wish I'd won it. Just thought I'd post it since I'll never see it in person.

I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

got that right, someone took an off center and enhanced it

The dies weren't rotated, that's normal coin rotation.
The plan looks normal and like the others said the reeded edge is damage.
It was no bargain for a no date off center.
The local dealer had one of these. I tried to explain to him, politely, that it was post-mint damage and not worth anything (this was before I found the NGC post). Fortunately for him, he didn't listen to me -- he sent it to PCGS, and got it back slabbed. Go figure.

<< <i>Could it be struck on a quarter planchet? to give it the reeded edge... >>
I dont believe so since the reeding is added at the time of minting and not before.

Four different bidders were in for over $40, too. I guess that means the "experts" are all wrong on this coin, too.

due to the off center strike, that got caught in a portion of the
wrapping machine.
I've gotten these in most denominations from counting rooms, along
with other errors they've sent.
Sometimes, it's easier to know that it's post-strike damage than to
know exactly how it occured - but in this type of error, it's a known
damaged off center error.
