NGC. The first strike was normal. The coin remained in the
coining chamber, the hammer (obverse) die rotated approximately 45
degrees clockwise, the anvil (reverse) die remained stationary, and
the coin was struck a second time. The coin's unusual appearance
was undoubtedly noticed by its late 18th-century possessors, but a
half dollar (more than a day's wages in 1795) was too valuable for
most owners to set aside, and so it continued to circulate into the
early 19th century. A slight obverse rim knock at 10:30 (relative
to the first strike), but the tan-gold and powder-blue surfaces are
otherwise exemplary for the designated grade.
