Lot 321
1828 C-1 R1 F12. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Obverse Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate and olive brown with some lighter brown toning at MER. Smooth surfaces offering excellent eye appeal for the grade. The only contact marks are a very light rim bruise over the first T in STATES and at ME in AMERICA. Double struck. The first strike was an 80% off center reverse brockage impression that left TES from STATES on the bottom of the wreath and part of the F in OF on the rim over the C in AMERICA. The opposing arc on the obverse was struck against a blank planchet rather than the obverse die, thus creating an off center brockage on that planchet. Another really neat mint error (although there are so many in this sale that you risk becoming spoiled). MDS, Manley state 2.0. Davy #28.1.8.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Tom Reynolds 7/22/88.
