Amazing Twice-Struck 1923 Peace Dollar With Off-Center First Strike, MS64

1923 $1 Peace Dollar--Struck Twice, First Strike Off-Center--MS64 NGC. One of the most visually arresting Peace dollar errors seen by the present cataloger. Both sides offer solid detail and minimal patina, though a splash of milky toning is present to the right of the R in LIBERTY. The surfaces are satiny, and the reverse displays a measure of frost. This piece was struck twice, first off-center and then centered, with distinct impressions on both the obverse and reverse. The rays of Liberty's crown from the first strike appear on Liberty's neck, and the date area shows swirling strands of her hair. (The last digit is partly obscured, but enough of it shows to determine that it is a 3.) The reverse shows extra rays and the lower part of the eagle's body at the top, and on the eagle's head from the second strike, a distinct image of an olive branch appears. Fantastic and fascinating.
