Lot Description

Though not noted by PCGS, this is an exceedingly rare mule die clash in addition to being the RPD. As described in Rick Snow's authoritative book, the obverse die of an Indian Head Cent can be seen within the vertical shield lines. It would seem someone at the Mint was playing around with the dies after hours!
