Owner Comments:
In any manufacturing process errors will occur, but the U. S. Mint has always taken great pains to avoid their being released. Most seen are on small coins, and any silver dollar error is a real rarity. This Peace Dollar was struck twice, with the first impression plainly visible far below the second on the obverse and way above it on the reverse. That this very obvious error coin even escaped the mint is simply amazing, but on top of that it remains in lustrous, near gem condition. A unique and dramatic error, this is one for the record books.
