Lot 481
1827 N-5 R2 VG7. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Glossy medium brown and chocolate. The only marks are some dull nicks in the field over star 12. Double struck. One impression (probably the first) was centered on the planchet. The other strike was 40% off center to K-6 on the reverse and rotated about 15 degrees relative to the centered strike. Much of the wreath from the initial impression shows on the lower half of the reverse. The E from STATES of the off-center impression shows clearly just right of the C in CENT of the second strike. There is no evidence of a second strike against the obverse. Instead the obverse displays the puffy look consistent with having been struck against a blank planchet during the off center strike. An attractive multiple mint error. DWH #2513.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
