Lot 429
1814 S-295 R1 Plain 4 G4. Double Struck/Reverse Brockage Maker. The obverse is better while the reverse is weaker, a result of the imperfect strike(s). Glossy steel brown and chocolate. No roughness, verdigris, or notable marks. EDS. Double struck on the obverse, but the offset between impressions is insignificant and is evidenced only by obvious distortion in the dentils, clearest at stars 10-13. The reverse displays the characteristic bulging and "puffiness" seen on pieces that were struck against a blank planchet creating an incuse brockage impression. This cent was also struck slightly off center to K-10. Curious--and probably inexpensive. DWH #3416.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
