    That is sooooo coooool.
    Double struck somehow by 90 degrees.
    Either the die spun or the planchet did.
    Or a struck coin was fed back in?
    I really don't know what I'm talking about but still way cool.

    It appears to be a genuine double strike with approximately 90 degrees of rotation between the strikes. What is the question?

    What blows my mind is that it looks circulated...for a few years before someone said. "Hey, look at this one!" and finally put it away.

    A very nice example of an
    in-collar double strike.

    One of the best I've seen
    in CBH's, given the amount
    of detail showing from the
    original strike.

    As mentioned, surprising that
    something this dramatic stayed
    in circulation so long; it's a testimony
    to the mind-set 200 years ago of
    the public - mainly, however, an
    example that at the time, 50 Cents
    was a good amount of money to
    keep spending, and not 'put away'
    just because it looked 'different'.

    Just guessing but what I would guess is that back in that day collectors had different attitudes and there were fewer of them. I could see a person getting it and saying "ain't that interesting- think it will spend?" Probably error coins had no premium or very little. It is an interesting subject to me to study changing collector attitudes though the ages.

    Double Struck In-Collar w/ Rotation.

    I wouldn't add a degree of rotation percentage as if you state 90 someone out there will feel the need to argue that it's only 87.5.

    The coin is ex Russ Logan and realized 13k when his collection was sold off in 2002. I'm not sure where it has been since.


    Edit...Lance, I noticed that you have Sheridan referenced in the photo properties. Is it going to be in his upcoming sale?
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Wow, what I'd give to own that thing! imageimageimage

    And I know I've seen this coin before... probably as a plate in some book. image
  • coin22lovercoin22lover Posts: 3,542 ✭✭✭
    I wonder what the going price for it would be?

    Nice find. The coin has actually changed hands twice since Russ owned it. It now belongs to an anonymous collector.
