1825 N-10 R3 F15. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Five points sharper with a rim nick at S-O, some light contact marks around CEN, and faint hairlines on the lower half of the obverse. Glossy chocolate brown. The obverse is double struck, both impressions properly centered and the second rotated 90 degrees clockwise relative to the first. Much of the initial strike remains clear, especially the top of the head in the field before the face and the profile along the bottom of the bust. The initial reverse strike was a 25% off center obverse brockage. An arc of impressed dentils passes from the AT in STATES down to the second A in AMERICA. In addition, there are some incuse stars visible above and below the C in CENT, on the wreath ribbon, and inside the C in AMERICA. Additional traces of incuse undertype can be found with some effort. E-MDS. DWH #1885.
Estimated Value $400-UP.

1825 N-10 R3 VG10. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage. Rather glossy light chocolate and medium brown fading to olive brown toning in the fields and protected areas. No roughness or verdigris, and the only contact mark is a light rim bruise just right of the date. Double struck. The initial impression was an off center brockage with the normal obverse about 10% off center to K-7 and the incuse impression 35% off center. The second strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The off center incuse impression from the first strike shows on the obverse where several incuse stars are clearly visible. The normal obverse from the first strike is very clear on the reverse and is upset 180 degrees with the nose of Ms Liberty pointing to the E in AMERICA. Very similar to the preceding lot, but the centering and rotations are clearly different. Another really neat mint error. Removed from a PCGS slab graded F12 (PCGS label included, and it mentions the error but calls it "Flipover D/S in Collar" when it was clearly not in the collar for the first strike).
Estimated Value $500-UP.

1827 N-4/5 R2 VG7. Obverse Brockage. Glossy light to medium brown with darker olive brown in protected areas. Smooth and very attractive for the grade. The best identifying mark is a tiny rim bruise at star 5. This obverse die was used in the N-4 and N-5 marriages, and the die state does not reveal with any certainty which variety was being struck when this brockage impression was minted. No rotation, the brockage impression perfectly aligned with the "normal" obverse. DWH #0637.

1827 N-5 R2 VG7. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Glossy medium brown and chocolate. The only marks are some dull nicks in the field over star 12. Double struck. One impression (probably the first) was centered on the planchet. The other strike was 40% off center to K-6 on the reverse and rotated about 15 degrees relative to the centered strike. Much of the wreath from the initial impression shows on the lower half of the reverse. The E from STATES of the off-center impression shows clearly just right of the C in CENT of the second strike. There is no evidence of a second strike against the obverse. Instead the obverse displays the puffy look consistent with having been struck against a blank planchet during the off center strike. An attractive multiple mint error. DWH #2513.

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.

1829 N-9 R4 Small Letters Reverse VF25. Double Struck with Rotation. Ten points sharper but there is a scrape on the rim and dentils right of star 11 reaching nearly to the outer point of that star and a light rim bruise at the R in AMERICA. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and virtually flawless. Glossy chocolate brown with medium brown toning in protected areas, especially on the obverse. EDS with hard, slightly reflective obverse fields and no die cracks. This cent was clearly double struck. Both impressions were centered on the planchet, but the obverse was rotated about 20 degrees between strikes leaving an impression of the nose on the forehead, the chin on the nose, and other areas of the portrait on the top of the head and buns. The reverse also shows clear doubling, especially at UNIT and around the wreath, but the rotation is significantly less on that side. I suspect this piece became a brockage maker somewhere in the process of being struck more than two times as that's the only way I can explain the visible differences in rotation between the strikes. Regardless, this is a really neat mint error and an attractive cent in spite of the contact marks described here.

1830 N-1 R1 VG8. Obverse Brockage. A couple points sharper with very fine granularity covering the obverse, but this roughness is mostly hidden under a slightly glossy dark chocolate brown patina. The high points are a lighter shade of brown. No verdigris, and the only marks are a rim bruise at star 2 and a small dig in the center of the incuse impression. The obverse is struck very slightly off center to K-10.5, and the reverse is an incuse brockage impression. This error occurs when a blank planchet is inserted into the press without first removing the previously struck cent. One side of this new planchet was struck against the obverse die but the other side was impressed into the obverse of the previously struck cent leaving an incuse impression of the obverse on the "reverse side." The end result is a remarkable mint error. The incuse impression on this example is rotated about 15 degrees from the normally struck obverse. DWH #3298.

1831 N-1 R1 VG10. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate brown. The only marks are two small digs or planchet voids at the N in UNITED. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second was 40% off center to the bottom of the reverse leaving the top of CENT under the wreath and parts of TES from STATES on CEN of the centered strike. The obverse was struck against a new blank planchet rather than the obverse die during the off center strike, thereby creating an off center obverse brockage on that planchet. The usual swelling or puffiness that comes with creating a brockage impression is clearly evident on the upper half of the obverse.

The first impression was centered on the planchet but the coin failed to eject completely and another strike 90% off center left a second date at the top of the obverse and ATES at the bottom of the reverse. Evidence of the off center strike is strong on both sides. A relatively low grade but a great error nonetheless.

The incuse brockage impression is not rotated, but it is slightly off center to K-6. (This reverse die was used on 1831 N-4, 1833 N-1, and 1833 N-4. The attribution to the 1831 N-4 marriage is based on the die state, but it's possible this cent was struck during the 1833 N-4 marriage.

A small nick right of star 1 and another in the dentils under that star, otherwise virtually flawless. Struck 30% off center to K-2. Excellent eye appeal and a great off-center mint error. DWH #2293.

1833 N-5 R1 VG10. Double Struck Off Center. Glossy medium brown and chocolate. Slightly sharper with some light contact marks scattered about the obverse, including a vertical pinscratch from the left side of star 7 to IB in LIBERTY. Struck on a planchet that was initially struck 65% off center on the obverse, an arc of dentils clearly showing on the left side of the obverse. The reverse shows no undertype at all, so it may have been impressed against another blank planchet during the initial strike (a uniface strike). LDS, the repunching on the 8 dull but visible and the reverse rotated 25 degrees CW. DWH #0813.
Estimated Value $50-UP.

1834 N-4 R2 Large 8 & Small Stars VG10. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. 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 off center strike was against the die on the reverse but against a blank planchet on the obverse side creating an off-center brockage impression on the other planchet. 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). DWH #3315.
Estimated Value $500-UP.

1835 N-1 R1 Large 8 & Stars EF45. Laminated Planchet. Slightly sharper but lightly cleaned and retoned light olive and golden brown with frosty luster covering the protected areas. No significant defects except for a planchet lamination that covers much of the cheek. The lamination is very shallow and has flaked off the planchet, so technically we should call it a delamination. Nicely struck E-MDS, before the radial die crack to the dentils under star 11. There is some strike doubling (from die bounce) on the reverse, clearest on the left edge of the wreath.
Estimated Value $300-UP.

1835 N-1 R1 Large 8 & Stars G4. Delaminated Planchet. A couple points sharper with dull pinpricks scattered over the obverse and a strong rim nick at the M in AMERICA. Mostly glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. A planchet lamination passes across the bottom of the obverse affecting the bust and date to the stars on both sides, and the section at the top of the date is peeled away. DWH #3364.
Estimated Value $20-UP.
