Lot 495
1831 N-1 R1 VG10. Double Struck Off Center/Off Center Brockage Maker. Glossy chocolate brown. The only marks are two small digs or planchet voids at the N in UNITED. Double struck. The first strike was normal and centered on the planchet. The second was 40% off center to the bottom of the reverse leaving the top of CENT under the wreath and parts of TES from STATES on CEN of the centered strike. The obverse was struck against a new blank planchet rather than the obverse die during the off center strike, thereby creating an off center obverse brockage on that planchet. The usual swelling or puffiness that comes with creating a brockage impression is clearly evident on the upper half of the obverse.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
