Lot 326
1828 C-2 R1 12-Star Obverse G4. Errant Planchet Cutter Impression. Cleaned and retoned a slightly glossy steel brown and chocolate. The only contact mark is a fine scratch over CENT. The date and legends are clear. Nothing special except for the strong planchet cutter arc from outside star 3 to above the head. Breen discusses this type of mint error on page 470 of his half cent encyclopedia where he calls it an "indented circular arc" and says it is "very rare." Davy #28.2.12.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
