    Very nice error coin. It’s like the perfect double strike and I love that it has two full dates.

    Looks like it's also a clipped planchet error.

    Been looking for one like this for a while. It wasn't cheap, but the time to buy it is when you see it (for hard to find stuff).

    That fits as well 👍

    How can one tell that is a clip, rather than a chain strike, without weighing it? I would have thought the flat edge was the result of a chain strike.

    @MedalCollector it looks like a chain strike, which means there’s a mated coin out there somewhere. You could look for telltale opposite rim weakness on the original strike but weighing it would also work.

    I don't collect error coins, but if I did this is what it would like. For me it has everything I would want on it.

    Congrats on an awesome pickup.
