Lot 463		1817 N-16 R1 15-Star Obverse, Obverse Brockage. NGC graded VF-20. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown fading to medium chocolate brown in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are a light rim bruise at star 3 and another even lighter one at star 11. EDS. A spectacular obverse brockage mint error, made even more significant because we are left with 30 clearly defined stars. The normal and incuse (brockage) designs are perfectly aligned with each other but the strike was very slightly off center to K-9. An obverse brockage error is created when a struck cent fails to eject from the press and a new planchet is inserted and struck. The obverse side of the second planchet is struck by the obverse die while the "reverse" of the second planchet is pressed into the obverse of the previously struck cent, thereby creating the incuse design. While this type of mint error is quite rare, having it occur on the unique 15-star obverse design is indeed remarkable. Destined to be a highlight of any collection. Our grade is VG10 sharpness net VG8. The attribution and Mervis provenance are shown on the NGC label. Estimated Value $7,500-UP.

This die variety was first listed as the "A-5" die variety in the 1883 reference written by Frank D. Andrews, "An Arrangement of United States Copper Cents, 1816-1857." Howard R. Newcomb, in his 1944 reference "United States Copper Cents 1816-1857," built on the work of Andrews but listed the A-5 variety (N-5 in the Newcomb reference) as "unknown." John D. Wright advanced the study of this series in his 1992 reference "The Cent Book." In his chapter on the cents of 1825 he stated "There is no Number 5" as none had surfaced in spite of Andrews' 1883 listing and over 100 years of searching. Then, in 2011 an example was discovered on eBay by Tom Deck of Alabama. A careful examination of Tom's cent by John D. Wright and your cataloger confirmed Tom's coin was indeed the "missing" Andrews/Newcomb #5 die variety. It is a product of the N-4 obverse die in a later die state and the reverse of the N-10 die variety in an earlier die state. Since Tom's discovery and subsequent announcement by Paul Gilkes in the 23 January 2012 edition of "Coin World" there have been 7 additional examples confirmed for the A-5/N-5 die variety, including the coin offered here. The condition census of the 8 known pieces is 12(2)-4(4)-3(2). Clearly this piece is the new "key" to a complete series of business strike 1816-1839 cents by die variety. Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
