PCGS 1893 Indian cent rotated double-struck in-collar, with the coin showing the obverse showing a major rotation between strikes. The 2nd "1893" date is visible between 10 and 11 o'clock on the obverse. A very scarce error type in this grade, as most examples are well worn. Probably, this is because the coin is the same size as a normal cent, and tended to circulate for a long time as a result (since no one would easily see the error.)
The error occurred when the coin was struck, failed to eject from the collar, but rotated between strikes, and was struck again.
AU53 with pleasing red/brown surfaces. A few minor marks obverse. Beautiful coin overall, and tough to find in this grade.
