Lot 451
1818 N-8 R3 VF30. Double Struck with Rotation in Collar. Slightly sharper with some light contact marks on the obverse, mostly on the cheek and neck. A rim nick over the second S in STATES can help identify this cent. Glossy chocolate brown with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas on the obverse. Double struck. Both strikes were centered on the planchet but rotated 90 degrees CCW. Remnants of the first strike show in the field off the chin where the middle and lowest curl are located, and the hair bun is positioned on the bust tip. Evidence of the first strike shows on the reverse as well, mostly in the leaves under ES and UNI. The doubling is easily missed until you look for it; then it becomes obvious. EDS.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
