Lot 324
1828 C-2 R1 12-Star Obverse F15+. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Obverse Brockage Maker. Very attractive glossy light chocolate brown. Sharpness close to VF20 but there are a few too many tiny contact marks for the higher grade, mostly on the bust and in the field before the portrait. Double struck. The first strike was normal and properly centered on the planchet. The second strike was 90% off center leaving parts of ES-OF on the rim over UNIT. The opposing arc on the obverse was against a blank planchet rather than the obverse die, thereby creating an off center brockage impression on that planchet. LDS, Manley state 3.0. Davy #28.2.9.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex Ron Guth-Jack Robinson, Superior 1/29/89:1995.
