Sale 60


 
Lot 456

1819 N-2 R1 Large Date MS60. Double Struck/Obverse Brockage Maker. Glossy light greenish olive brown with underlying frosty mint luster covering both sides. The only mark is a nick under the left foot of the N in CENT. EDS. The recutting on the 9 is sharp and the reverse has not started to show die rust. Double struck, but the second obverse impression was against a slightly off center blank planchet rather than the obverse die. The reverse was rotated 5-10 degrees between the impressions and the obverse made a slightly off center obverse brockage impression on the second planchet. A very attractive example of an impressive mint error. DWH #3284.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
