Lot 499
1831 N-3 R1 Small Letters Reverse G4. Double Struck Off Center. Slightly sharper but clearly bent, possibly a result of the badly off center second strike. No corrosion or verdigris, but there are a few rim bruises and other small contact marks, none significant. Double struck. The first impression was centered on the planchet but the coin failed to eject completely and another strike 90% off center left a second date at the top of the obverse and ATES at the bottom of the reverse. Evidence of the off center strike is strong on both sides. A relatively low grade but a great error nonetheless.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
From the Davy Collection. Ex Bob Miller-Denis Loring.
