Obverse 1 Reverse A
Macro Images Of Triple Struck Obverse
Comments: Copper colored example exhibiting triple strike. There is uncertainty if the tripling of features is on the die or a strike artifact but convention wisdom suggests a striking issue. Crude obverse engraving with featureless Liberty and AMERICU misspelling. Reverse engraving is nicely executed in general and uses thin pointed denticles.
