Lot 1918
No date. Mint Error, full brockage obverse of a Large Cent. PCGS graded VF-25. This is a classic error coin, the reverse is normal, but where there should be an obverse we have a mirror image reverse, with the devices incuse into the planchet. These are caused when a previously struck coin sat directly on top of this one and it was struck again, hence the struck piece is pushed into the blank planchet causing a mirror image, or brockage, as seen here. Large cents are scarce, and extremely popular with error collectors. This one has decent surfaces for the grade, we note a minor spot above the D of UNITED on the regular reverse, while the obverse shows only minor surface scratches and is otherwise average for the grade. Medium brown in color. Of course, there is no date on this coin, but with some patience perhaps it could be determined when this reverse die was used.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
