Owner Comments:

KM-unlisted. Struck in white metal. Multiple mint errors are found on this undocumented pattern piece including being struck without a collar, having the "TP XE" engraved on the obverse die backwards, and both sides exhibiting strong die clashing. As a result of being struck without a collar to restrain the expansion during the strike, the rims are unusually wide and the legends near the rims exhibit spreading characteristic of a broadstrike. The fields are proof-like and bright. A unique mint error pattern.

Note, the NGC insert also is incorrect as it lists this as being a 10% off-center error rather than as being broadstruck.
