5¢. 1867 No Rays. Off-center strike. Extremely Fine. Struck more than 15% off-center toward the 11:30 position when viewed from the obverse. The violence of the off-center striking and the brittleness of the copper-nickel planchet has caused it to crack during striking, most visibly at the lower obverse. As with all type coin errors, very scarce and desirable.
