This seems to be one of the more typical "error" coins that is seen from China. It is more than likely a counterfeit.

Thank you, BJ, for sharing, and for letting us know about them. This is one I would want Rick to see. He is "The Man".

Fred Weinberg was the one that pointed it out to us on E-bay. He believes that it was from a batch of counterfeits that were made about 30 years ago on the East Coast of USA.
