Lot 1942
1798. Miller-29, Breen 4-F, Rarity-4. . M-29. Sharpness of EF-45 but repaired in the right obverse field. The right obverse field has been repaired by buffing to remove marks or initials and all the surfaces are hairlined and this coin has been processed. Curiously, this coin was struck through several small bits of lint or other obstruction as several indented marks can be seen on either side, one on the back of the cap, another on the reverse at the left end of the ribbon into the field. Close examination reveals that this is likely a flip over double strike, as the O from OF can be seen over Liberty's cap, and the 8 of the date is located on the N of UNITED. This evidence is faint, and a strong glass is needed to see it, but it certainly is there. Multiple die cracks are present, as usual for the variety. An interesting coin for the specialist, and one that probably won't bring a huge premium.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From the Robert W. Miller, Sr. collection.
