Lot 310
1825 C-2 R1 F15. Double Struck with Rotation/Obverse Brockage Maker. Attractive glossy chocolate brown. Smooth, corrosion free-surfaces with only a few trivial contact marks. A dull rim nick at TA in STATES is the only defect worthy of mention. Double struck. Both impressions were centered on the planchet but rotated 80 degrees between the strikes. The doubling is obvious on the reverse, especially inside the wreath. There is no doubling on the obverse. Instead that side was pressed against a blank planchet during the second strike creating an obverse brockage. The swelling or puffiness that occurs on the "brockage maker" (the obverse in this case) is obvious. Davy #25.2.11.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Richard Gross (the "Baltimore Collection") via Ron Guth 3/20/83.
