Lot 504
1831 N-6 R1 Large Letters Reverse VG7. Rotated Double Strike/Off Center Brockage Maker. Slightly sharper with some fine scratches and minor roughness in the obverse fields. Glossy dark olive and steel with lighter chocolate brown high points. The patina is thick and helps hide the minor defects, but they are still visible to the unaided eye. Double struck. The obverse has two properly centered impressions, the second rotated 15 degrees CCW relative to the first. The reverse, however, shows an incuse brockage impression from the upper portion of the obverse of another struck cent, and this brockage is 60% off center. A neat multiple error that saw considerable circulation. DWH #3309.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
