Strange,
Strange because it has your typical doubled column which is obviously vertical.
Yet this has a tilted doubled knee cap.
On coppercoins, its closest to DDR-007 and 017 if I remember correctly.
It doesn't match either of them.

So how can this happen ?
I can understand that the process of creating the Die itself can pause and misalignment by the die setter causes the hub separation, thus creating the Doubled die ?
That's my understanding.
Having a second doubled device that is rotated suggests that the creation of that particular anvil die, stopped not once, but twice.
Misaligned twice during hubbing ?
I'm still learning by only reading!

Please forgive me if I made technical description errors.

I know that many say that they need full pics and I have a rant all about that!
Now, with the potential of having "Discovery Piece" added to a slab, makes obscuring that information pertinent.

Those true sniper eyed folks like I hope to be, will probably know what date it is anyway just by the design elements.

So is my somewhat educated guess accurate? or please teach me something new!

Mike.

Here is the picture.

Ps.
The verdigris is unfortunate.
Verdicare seems non-existent!
It came out of a roll from the local gas station.
Customer rolled.
All MAD's.

Nice find! That is a strange one for sure with the column bar and that business around the statue.

Did you send this one in?

These doubled columns seemed to happen a lot around the early 2000's. Thinking it might be a "blister" or bubble under the copper plating. A clear closeup might be helpful.
The spot of corrosion makes me think it has experienced some environmental stress over the years. (I do usually rely on more info from a full coin image.)
