if you enjoy or don't understand early copper...

This is part of the reason I love early copper- the obverse has been triple struck- first faintly to the left of
the main strike, then a little harder to the right of the main strike and finally the last strike - BUT the reverse
only shows one strike - I'm guessing the planchet stayed stationary but the obverse die was rotating slightly.
You'll also notice the reverse die has pretty much failed and would soon be pulled out of service

my photography technique is a loop over a digital camera lens - focus by moving the camera back and forth
hold very still and hope for the best -

A single strike with a loose die, more likely. Still, cool looking.
