The first strike was 10% off center to K-7.5 and the second was 5% off center to K-6 and rotated 140 degrees CW relative to the first. Strong evidence of each strike shows on both sides, including two complete, clear dates. An impressive error strike, but the imperfect surfaces are a distraction. EDS, Breen state I.
