Neat Large Cent error

Here is a neat Matron Head large cent error I have had for awhile. How rare is something like this? Does anyone know the value on these? I don't have anything to really compare it too. I am thinking of putting it on Ebay or maybe BST. Anyone else have cool large cent errors?

And no indent on the front from a blank planchet

The press maybe broke where just the ram for the reverse die was swinging?

This is what I was thinking also. It looks like the obverse could be a little flat in that area and also the rims are hard to see in the slab. How do the rims look were the two strikes intersect?

I think you have it backwards, the coin in the OP probably created a nice indent brockage in a second planchet. That would explain the lack of a second obverse strike and and the mushy details of the first strike opposite the double-struck reverse.

It was body bagged but someone accidentally slabbed it with the body bag tag.

Exactly, there are generally two planchets involved in these old large cent errors. I have two large cents, a 94 and a 96 that are unstruck on the reverse because there were 2 planchets in the press. I wish I had the reverse too. --Jerry
