1834 Coronet Head Cent. . N-4, R2. VG-10 Double Struck Off Center Brockage Maker. Large 8 with Small Stars. Slightly sharper with a small but deep dig in the field before the mouth and a dull dent over the E in CENT. Glossy light to medium brown. Smooth surfaces, free of corrosion or verdigris. Double struck. The first impression was properly centered but the second was 25% off center to K-11. The second strike was against a blank planchet on the obverse side leaving an impression from that planchet (and creating an off-center brockage impression on that other planchet in the process). The obverse details were blunted where it was pressed against the blank planchet, but the reverse details are strong. Another neat mint error, this one showing three different types of error (double strike, off center, and brockage maker).
Estimated Value $350 - 700.
