Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Cent ND (1839) from Canton of Bern is that it was minted with a unique error, known as a "double-struck" error. This occurs when the die is struck twice, resulting in a double impression of the design on the coin. This error is highly sought after by collectors and can significantly increase the coin's value.
