This is one outstanding Mint Error (Wrong Metal/Wrong Planchet).:eclipsee_gold_cup:
I wish the seller had posted better close-up pictures.

I will have to wait until my next Social Security Check and Stimulus Check arrives in the mail before I can bid.:tinysmile_hmm_t::LOL_Hair:

That's pretty cool...it says it's double struck, I don't doubt the label, but you cannot tell from the pics.

...Of course I'm surprised you don't already have one of these in the treasure chest Joe!

My Treasure Chest is crying out. YES! YOU NEED ME!!!!!!!!


It proably is double struck as Proofs are struck twice (struck twice with rotation) due to the size of the planchet.
I attached a picture that I played with and you can see the doubling on the Reverse

That's why I would love to see really nice pictures.
