Lot 24
1787 Connecticut Miller 33.17-gg.2 Rarity-5. Fine-15. Double Struck Off-Center Brockage. Slightly glossy chocolate and olive brown. No marks or verdigris, but the surfaces are covered with extremely faint roughness under the attractive patina. This piece was double struck. The initial impression was normal, centered on the planchet. The second was 55% off center and was against the reverse of another struck piece leaving incuse impressions of the reverse on the top of the normally struck obverse. The planchet is egg-shaped thanks to the second strike. The date and legends are clear except where affected by the incuse brockage. A really neat error.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
