Lot 327
1828 C-3 R1 AU55. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Lustrous reddish steel brown and light chocolate with a couple tiny peeps of faded mint red. Just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. Double struck. The first impression was an 80% off center reverse brockage. Part of a "T" shows on the rim under the 2 in the date and a piece of some other letter is visible under the first 8. An opposing arc of dentils that appear to be from a brockage rather than from a die is clearly visible at TATES. The letters on the rim under the date were struck with the planchet at an angle, so things were getting jammed up. MDS. Davy #28.3.9.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
