As many of you know, Mushrooms are one of my favorite type of errors. I probably have about 40 of them but this is my first one in silver ..... NGC MS 66

Both sides are quite nice as this is a 66. It's hard to photograph in the NGC Slab with the shadows. The coin looks way better in hand.

The error is called an Broadstruck with an Indent. The coin was struck with a another planchet on top which forms the indented area and struck out of collar so the coin expanded beyond the normal size.
