Description
Double Struck 1976-D Half Dollar, MS67
Both Strikes Off Center with Reverse Brockage
1976-D 50C Clad Bicentennial Half -- Double Struck, Both Off
Center, Reverse Brockage -- MS67 NGC. The story of this
spectacular error begins when a coin (not the present lot) stuck to
the reverse die after it was struck. Two non-overlapping planchets,
one of which became the present lot, were then fed between the
obverse die and the previously struck coin. The present lot was
struck approximately 50% off center toward 12 o'clock. The strike
left an incused and reversed impression of the obverse on the
reverse. The reverse also shows a second curved impression from the
first strike, from the outline of second fed planchet (not
included). The present coin failed to eject and was struck a second
time, perhaps 30% off center toward 2:30. Again, on the second
strike, the reverse die was blocked by the reverse die cap, leaving
a second brockage impression.
