1825 N-10 R3 F15. Double Struck over Off Center Obverse Brockage.

Much of the initial strike remains clear, especially the top of the head in the field before the face and the profile along the bottom of the bust. The initial reverse strike was a 25% off center obverse brockage. An arc of impressed dentils passes from the AT in STATES down to the second A in AMERICA. In addition, there are some incuse stars visible above and below the C in CENT, on the wreath ribbon, and inside the C in AMERICA. Additional traces of incuse undertype can be found with some effort. E-MDS. DWH #1885.
