Lot 487
1829 N-5 R3 Small Letters Reverse VG10. Off Center Obverse Brockage. Glossy dark chocolate brown with a spot of reddish brown toning just right of star 2 and a swipe of similar reddish toning in the field before the face of the incuse brockage impression on the "reverse". The surfaces are smooth and attractive, the only defect being a short struck-through line near the dentils left of star 12 on the incuse brockage side. The normal obverse was struck 5% off center to K-10.5 while the incuse brockage impression was properly centered. The brockage is perfectly aligned (not rotated) with the normal obverse. EDS, before the die crack occurs through ERT. DWH #0712.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
