Lot 479
1826 N-9 R3 G6+. Off Center. Chocolate brown, the obverse nice and glossy and the reverse closer to matte thanks to uniform faint roughness on that side. No verdigris. There is a small rim bruise between stars 10 & 11, a dull nick on the throat, and a shallow chip at the bottom edge of the bust tip. Struck 15% off center to K-4.5 leaving most of the date off the planchet, only the top of the 18 barely hanging on. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VG8 (PCGS label included, and it mentions the 15% off-center feature).
Estimated Value $100-UP.
